EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the
fourth ot 10 stories explaining
how to make out your income
tax return for 1951.) ,
WASHINGTON W Although
married couples can tile senarate
or joint income tax returns, most
will save by tiling Jointly.
When a wife had no Income they
can't lose with a joint return.
Its purpose is to let a counle
split their income even when the
wife had none to get a lower tax.
or a return to oe considered Joint
both should sign it.
Exemption problems
A wife with no income doesn't
have to make a return but her hus
band still gets a $600 exemption for
ner on his return whether or not
she files jointly with him unless
she's the dependent ot another tax
payer. A wife with $600 or more Income
must file separately claiming her
own $600 exemption on her return
or jointly in which case the couple
claims $1200 in exemptions on one
return $600 for each.
Note! When wife has any in
come less than $600 no matter
how much less say $35 for baby
sittingher husband doesn't get
that $600 exemption for her unless
she files jointly with him. Thus
he'd lose the difference between
her under-$600 income and a $600
exemption for her.
Forms for married people
Form 1040-A and the 1040 short-
form are for under-$5,000 income.
The 1040 long-form is for incomes
of $5000 or more, ii you re under
$5000 but can't use 1040-A you can
use tne iihu snort-iorm.
Rlllp fnr llsinff 1040-A TPull Iat
must have been withheld from' all
Income except for no more than
$100 in untaxed wages In dividends
or interest..
Some couples' Income was $5,000
or more but individually less. They
can file jointly on the 1040 long
form or individually on 1040-A, If
they fit the rule for it. or individu
ally on the 1040 short-form.
Examples: Your total income
was $4,600. Full tax was withheld.
Wife, no income. You can file joint
ly on 1040-A. Or-
Your total income was $4,600.
Full tax was withheld from $4,500.
The remaining $100 was your wife's
in untaxed wages, interest or divi
dents. You can file jointly on 1040-
A.
If that untaxed Dart of your In
come amounted to $100.01 in wages,
dividends or Interest or If any
part of it came from any other
sources, like rents or commissions
you couldn t file jointly on 1040-A.
But you could file Jointly on the
1040 short-form. Or
Your total income was $7,500, of
which $4,000 was yours and $3,500
was your wife's. You can file joint
ly on the 1040 long-form or sep
arately, depending on your particu
lar case, on 1040-A or the 1040
short-form.
Deduction;
Anyone using 1040-A or the 1040
short-form automatically gets a de
duction of about 10 per cent for
personal expenses like hospital
bills. You don t have to claim or
iemize. It's allowed for in the
table used to figure out the tax on
people using those two forms.
There's no place on 1040-A or the
.short-form to claim or itemize. But

come? They'd use the 1040 long
form but, because their income was
under $5,000, they'd then have to
itemize but could claim their de
ductions in full.
Note! When a couple files sep
arate returns, and one of them
uses the 1040 long-form to Itemize
his expenses, both must use the
long-form and itemize.

without Itemizing, of 10 per cent
of Income up to a limit of $1,000.
Thev just knock 10 ner cent off
their income before what's left is
taxable.
Examples: The Joneses" total In'
come was $7,000.- They take oft
$700. The Smiths' total income was
$10,000. They take off the limit,
$1,000. The Browns' total Income
was $11,000. They can't take off
more than that limit of $1,000. If
they want to claim more, they'll
have to Itemize their deductions In
full and be prepared to prove they
naa tnem.
Note: That rule about the $5,000
and over people taking off 10 per
cent ud to a limit ot $i.ooo witnout
itemizing works equally for single
persons and married couples oui-i
only when married couples tile
jointly on the 1040 long-form.
The rule Is different for married
couples when one, or both, tiles
separately on the 1040 long-form. If
both had income ot $5,000 or more
but file separately on the long-form
each can take a standard deduc
tion of only $500 without itemizing.
Example: A husband had $9,000
income, the wife $2,000. They wish
to file separately. He uses the long
form he has to. with that $9,000
income taking the maximum de
duction allowed him. $500. She uses
1040-A or the 1040 short-form where
she's allowed that automatic de
duction of about 10 per cent on her
$2,000, or about $200.
That elves this particular couple,
whose total income was $11,000, a
total deduction of around $700. ii
they had filed jointly on the long
form they could have taken, with
out itemizing, a standard deduction
of $1,000.
There's a special problem for
couples living In the following com
munity property states: Arizona,
California, Idaho. Louisiana, Ne
vada. New Mexico, Texas ano
Washington.
In those states' husband and
wives can file joint returns. But
If they wish to file separately, they
can't use form 1040-A at all. They
must use the 1040 short-form or
