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.
