Good Tax Records
Needed To List
Deductions
Griffin—The choice between
itemizing deductions and taking
the Standard Deduction on Fede
ral Income tax returns some
times depends on how good a
taxpayer’s records are, E. T.
Woodruff, Local Representative
of the Internal Revenue Service,
said today.
Unless deductions can be back
ed up by supporting documents
and records, a taxpayer may want
to take one of the Standard De
ductions. In that case, no records
of contributions, taxes and in
terest paid or medical expenses
need be kept, Mr. Woodruff said.
Itemizing deductions will
usually result in lower taxes for
those who own a home and have
property taxes and interest on
a mortgage to pay. Mr. Wood
ruff said it might also pay to
itemize deductions for those who
made large charitable contribu
tions, experienced heavy medical
expenses or who suffered losses
from storms, fire or theft.
Where married persons file
separate returns, bothhusband
and wife must either Itemize
deductions or claim the same
type standard deduction. One
spouse can’t itemize while the
other takes the standard deduc
tion.
The appropriate Tax Table,
shown in the Instructions, is used
to determine the tax on incomes
.under $5,000 , ,
