New Income Tax Ruling
Washington, Dec, 30.—Further
regulations for payment of the’In
come tax issued today, provide that j
husband and wife living together!
shall be entitled to an exemption
of $4000 from the aggregate net
income of both, but when separated
and living apart permanently, each
shall be entitled to a $3000 exemp-
ton.
Where husband and wife living I
together have Separate estates, their
income may be made on one return i
but the amount of the income of I
each with the full names and ad-j
dresses must be shown. ,
The husband, the regulation says,'
should make the return as the head
and legal representative of the
household. Where a wife has an j
estate managed by herself, from
which she receives an income of
more than $3000, she may make
her own return, and if the husband;
in such cases, has an income which
brings the total above $4000, the
wife’s return should be attached to
that of her husband or vice versa.
Where either husband or wife has
an income of $3000 or more a re
turn is required under the law, no
matter whether the combined in
come of both be less than $4000.
When the joint income exceeds
$4000, husband and wife are jointly
and separately liable for making the
proper returns and for the payment
of the tax. The single or married
status of persons claiming the ex
emptions provided shall be deter
mined at the time made, if it is
made within the year of the return
otherwise the states shall be in the
treasury department at the close of
the yeai;.
