NOTE: For convenience In mailing, tul off Tax Deductions lor Editor's not: Thli Is the fourth of five special dispatches written by tbe top federal tax official to help yon make out your 1954 income tax return. Today's dispatch tells how to claim all the deductions to which you're entitled. By T. COLEMAN ANDREWS 'Commissioner of Internal Revenue Written For United Press Washington U.P.) May I take a deduction for payments to the nursery school my child attends? How do I report deduc tions for medicine? How do I compute the loss on trees dam aged by a hurricane? How much credit am I entitled to for inter est on the TV set I am buying by installments? What is the dif ference between the standard de duction and item-by-item deduc tions? These and others are questions taxpayers have been asking at Internal Revenue Service offices this year. Many of the rules for deductions were changed in the 1954 overhaul of the federal tax code, so you will be wise to give attention to the allowances which are available to you. Standard Deduction The new law makes no change in the standard deduction. This standard deduction allows you approximately 10 per cent of your income for such things is charitable contributions, medical expenses, interest, state and city taxes even if you did not spend that much of your income for those purposes. The standard deduction in no case permits you to deduct more than $1,000 -for these items. In some cases it's less. Anyone may take it, but taxpayers who file a return on the card form 1040A or the short form 1040 auto matically take it. If your deductible contribu tions and expenses come to more than the standard deduction al lows, your best bet may be to list them all, in the space pro vided on page 3 of the long form 1040. Listing your deductions item-by-item removes you from the percentage and dollar limi tations of the standard deduction and makes you subject to more liberal limitations. Child Expenses Troublesome The deductible item which has aroused most attention in the new tax code is expenses for the care of children and disabled dependents. Contrary to the views of some people, the new law does not allow you to deduct for baby sitter fees when you go out to the movies. It applies pri marily to women who are work ing or actively looking for work. It also applies to a man whose wife has died, a man who is di vorced and has not remarried, and a man who is legally separ ated from his wife under a de cree of separate maintenance. Women and these eligible men may deduct up to $600 a year, if. it costs that much to have someone look after the depend ent or dependents while the tax payer is working or looking for work.

Deduction Limit $600 Regardless of the number of children or disabled dependents being cared for, the taxpayer may not deduct more than S600, and may not deduct that much if the care expenses actually come to less. A working wife may claim the deduction only if she files a joint return with her husband. If their combined income runs over $4,500, the amount they may deduct is reduced. For example, if they spent $200 for child care, and their income was $4,600, they may deduct only $100. The answer to the question about deducting the cost of nurs ery school for your child is: Yes, but only the cosUincurred during periods you are working. You may not deduct amounts paid to one of your children to take care of another, or amounts paid to some other dependent of yours to take care of the child. And if you have a maid or house keeper who cares for the child in addition to other duties (such as cooking, cleaning, launder ing)! you may deduct only that part of her pay which represents the time she spends caring for the child. Medical Expenses Deductible Medical expense deductions top the list of questions which taxpayers ask year after year. The new law gives taxpayers a bigger break than before in this category, as in most others. Basically, you are now al lowed to deduct medical and dental expenses if they run high er than three per cent of your income. You do not deduct that first three per cent portion, but you do deduct the amount above that. There's an important excep tion to this: If you are 65 or older, you may deduct all your medical expenses. There is , an upper limit, too. Married couples filing a joint re turn may not deduct more than $5,000 for medical and dental costs in one year! not more than $7,500 if they have one depend ent; and not more than $10,000 if they have two or more de pendents. A single person claiming only the one exemption for himself is limited to medical and dental deductions of not more than $2,500 per year.

Payments 1 to physicians, surgeons, dentists, optometrists, qualified psycholo gits and Christian Science prac titioners; diagnosis, treatment, prevention of a disease; hospital expenses, nursing, laboratory services; eyeglasses, hearing aids, drugs (to the extent you pay out more than one per cent of your income for your total drug pur chases); medical and dental sup plies (including artificial teeth and limbs); ambulance hire; and health insurance plans which cover the cost of medical care. How About Hurricanes? Note: If you receive payments from a health insurance plan, or are otherwise repaid for your medical and dental expenses, your deduction for these ex penses is reduced accordingly. Hurricanes Carol, Edna and Hazel of last year have prompted a tremendous number of ques tions about deductions for losses. First of all, the amount to de duct for such losses is a diffi cult thing to calculate. Secondly, remember to reduce your de duction claim by any amount of insurance you recover on the loss. Generally, the deduction you may claim for hurricane damage to your property is the differ ence between the value of your whole property immediately be fore the storm and its value im mediately after the storm (be fore you clean it up). This k , the general rule whether you lose one bush or a whole house. The cost of repair or replace ment is not a factor. Nor is senti mental value. And the loss to be claimed may not exceed the cost of the property. The final deductible item I shall deal with is interest the interest you pay on a mortgage, on an installment plan purchase, on a personal loan, or on back taxes. In most of these cases, the interest is clearly designated and easily reported. In the case of many purchases on the installment plan, how ever, there is no interest fee as such, but it is part of the so called carrying charge. How to Figure Interest The new law tells you how to figure interest in such a situa tion: Calculate how much you still owed on your purchase at the beginning of each month; add these amounts divide by 12; take six per cent of the answer and report it as interest. But the deduction, thus calculated, may not exceed the total carry in Snowdrift cans ( Limited j rWf CTtY MATCHED) Fully proportioned for shorts, mediums, and talis Guaranteed First Quality - on your next 3 lb.

One thing to remember on all these deductible items: You may not claim them unless you list all your deductions, one-by-one; you may not claim them if you take the standard deduction or if you file your return on form 1040A or short form 1040.
