Expenses, .j j Certain expenses incurred by ! you as an employee are, in gen i eral, deductible items in comput I tag taxable income. Whether you should deduct them in your re turn for 1944 depends in part on specific provisions of law and in part on the method you use in making your return. AJ Expenses Incurred for Tour j Employer If you pay or incur expenses for travel, meals, and " lodging away from home on your em f ployer's business, you may de duct them in computing the ad justed gross income on which your normal tax and surtax are based. Itemize them on a separ ate sheet of paper, subtract them from your total ' compensation and allowances, and enter the balance of your earnings in item 2, page 1 of Form 1040. Attach the itemized list securely to your return. A copy of the list may be kept, if desired, for reference. This class of expenses may be deducted on either a short-form or long-form return on Form 1040. However, these expenses cannot be deducted if you use your Withholding Receipt (Form W-2, Rev.) as a return because tio : provision is made on that form for this kind of expenses.

They are not deductible y&s business ex penses in computing your ad justed gross income, because bus iness expenses are allowable for that purpose only "if such trade or business does not consist of the performance of services by the taxpayer as an employee." They may be deducted from adjusted gross "income, ' to de termine net income, only ii you file Form 1040 and itemize your deductions on page 4, which may be done under "Miscellaneous Deductions."

" ONE OF THE REASONS I ' . J H STAFF f)f There were 130 Jap Zeros pouring into our ,1 V bomber formation on the first raid on Trulc It was a hot fight and one of the Jap 20-mm shells hit me in my right leg. It felt Uke thousand hornets were stinging me. I stayed at my gun until the fight teas over, and then toent out like a light. They operated , on me at a surgical station on one of the small islands. The next day, a little Army nurse came through the combat zone in a hospital plane to bring me out. She was right there with me all the time during the long fight to the evacuation hospital I was in agony, end it was the work she did for me that helped me through those first tough hours.
