THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTLER. GEORGIA, MARCH 23, 1944.
Every Person Gets $500
Exemption In Proposed
Simplified Income Tax
Washington, March 19—You're
on ly worth a $500 tax exemption
if the new simplified tax bill be
comes law.
But so is the jobless brother-in-
law who lives with you, also the
19-year-old daughter in college,
and the baby.
The provision for a flat $500 ex
emption per person—wiping out a
host of complex dependency al
lowances—was disclosed today as
the No. 1 point which sold the
treasury on taking over the tax
calculating headache for 30,000,000
taxpayers.
Without it the treasury said it
couldn't begin to do the job.
Under the proposed act, taxpay
ers with wage and salary incomes
below $5,000 a year would file a
simple "information return”, and
the internal revenue bureau would
do the rest of the figuring. The
March 15 chores of the remaining
20,000,000 taxpayers would be
eased drastically.
Those who have had more than
a peek at the legislation, drafted
by the house ways and means
committee with the aid of con
gressional and treasury experts
say the flat per capita exemption
will simplify a host of questions
concerning marital and depend
ency status.
Three separate exemptions now
apply—$550 for a single person,
$1,200 for a married couple or
head of a family (excluding one
dependent) and $350 for each “al
lowable dependent. The stream
lined bill would eliminate, the
need for a legalistic analysis to
determine the proper tax credit.
And here's the news a lot of
fathers have been waiting for:
children wouldn't automatically
cease being exemptions when
they reach 18. So long as they are
not taxpayers themselves they'll
be worth $500 each to dad.
