The revenue act provides an ex (intition of .i-l.tHiil tor single iicron. r'j.lMHI fur married persons and heads of families, and an additional exemption of $100 for each person dependent upon the taxpayer, if such j Person is under IS Years of am1, or' incapable of self support. The tie-i liniments lu-t vear were persons j whose income exaetlv enuuled the! amount of the exemptions :u;d who i considered it unnecearv, therefore, I to file a return, and others whose in- j come w.is nontaxable because of de-j pendents, and who were under a siin-1 ilar mistaken impression. ! For example, a single man with a net income of 1,1100 was supporting a sUter for whom lie was allowed an exemption of $2011, placing his income in the nontaxable lit. Kor this rea son lie did not tile a return. When hi delimiucncv was discovered through a return filed bv his employer, who U reoiurctl to report pavnients of fl.lMMI or more to each employee, he was fined $.". ."Must Kile a ltd urn To avoid penalty, every person whoe income for the last vear collat ed or exceeded $1,000. or Jr'-J.OOO, ac cording 1 1 their marital status ur Iheir status as the head nf a family, must file :v. return. The law makes no cxceplions, the penally for fail ure hciuu' a fine of not more than 1,000. Head of a family Whether or iitt a person is the 'head of a family' and entitled to a .f.flflO exemption is a uiiestiou to be determined iarirelv bv teircinnstance surround! m; each inilividnal case. The fixinir of his status decides, in manv instances, whether his income is taxable or nontaxable. A head of a family is defined bv. treasury regulation as "a person who actuailv supports and maintains one or more individuals who are closely connected with him bv blood relation ship, relationship by marriaire. or bv adoption, and whose riuht to exercise family control and provide for these dependents is based upon some moral or feiral nlilUrnt ion." A single pcr--on is the head of a family if lie i the side support of relatives living in the same house witli him and if he ex ercises control of household affair-. The words "sole support" are used in the sense that there is no other per son to whom the dependents innv look for support. Income from other -ourees such as iutere-t on bomN, stock dividends, pensions, etc., if in enure enotiL'h still to leave the re cipient dependent, does not preclude a claim for exemption. Such income, however, must he included in tile re turn of the head of the family. Can Xot Divide Kxomption The if'1.000 additional exemption allowed the head of a family can not he divided between two sinule mem bers of a household. A division of responsibility excludes the parties from such claim. A sim.de person who lines not otmlifv a-; the head of a family mav still claim an exemp tion of .t'JOO for each per. on depend ent upon him for support, if such I person is under IS years ot aye or incapable of self support. A son who has left home but who sends to his mother more than half the sum re quired for her support is entitled to the :J0n exemption, provided the mother can not support herself. Oth erwise the amount must be considered as a uii't, and. therefore, is not de uuctable. A sou living at home and support inu" his mother may claim the 12,000 exemption allowed the head of a family, hut not an additional ex emption of 'J00 unless the mother is incapable of self support.
