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. The dependent being

taken care of must be the tax
payer's child, stepchild, or legal
ly adopted child under 12 years
of age, or must be a person who
is physically or mentally incap
able of caring for himself.
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.

include such things as:. 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

One thing to remember on all

you may not claim them if you

if you file your return on form
1040A or short form 1040.
