,New Tax Benefits
' For The Elderly
Taxpayers 65 years of age and
over will find additional tax sav
ings in several provisions of the
1964 Revenue Act. A, C. Ross,
District Director of the Internal
Revenue Service, said these be
nefits are tn addition to the rate
reductions that will reduce the
tax bills of all taxpayers.
For the elderly, tax savings
from the new law are estimated
to be over S6OO million a year.
Os benefit particularly to tax
payers 05 years of age or older
are these provisions in the 1964
tax law;
1- the minimum standard de
duction
2 - removal of the one per cent
floor on medicine and drug expen-
3 - tax free treatment in certain
cases for gains from the sale of
residence.
4 - an election increasing the
computation base on retirement
income credit for certain taxpay
ers.
Mr. Ross said that none of the 11
million older taxpayers previo
usly exempt from filing a return
will have to file a return under
the new law. Nearly all of the
3.5 million who file returns but
pay no tax will continue to have no
tax to pay according to Mr. Ross.
