YOUR INCOME TAX
Your income tax for the year
1924 is less, in proportion to your
income, than was the tax of 1924.
A rate reduction, however is not
the only benefit afforded by the
revenue uct of 1924. Increase in
the exemption for married persons,
a 25 per cent reduction on "earned
income," and other changes in
revenue legislation are of immed
iate interest to every taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every sin
gle person whose net income for
1924 was $1,000 or more, or whose
gross income was 15,000 or more,
and by every married aouple whose
aggregate net income was $2,500
or more, or whose aggregate gross
income was $5,000 or more. Last
year returns were required of
married couples whose aggregate
net income was 12,000 or more.
Husband and wife, living together
may include the income of each in
a single joint return, or each may
file a separate return showing the
income of each. Net income is
gross income less certain specified
reductions for business expenses,
losses, bad debts, contributions,
etc.
The period for filing returns is
from January 1 to March 15,1925.
The return, accompanied by at
least one-fourth of the amount of
tax due, must be filed with the
collector of internal revenue for
the district In which the taxpayer
has his legal residence or has his
principal place of business.
