Tax Changes Explained
Last summer the
Economic Recovery Tax Act
of 1981 was signed into law.
Most people are aware of
those features that had im
fiact on their 1981 tax returns.
owever, the new tax law
does more than simply lower
personal income taxes. It pro
vides tax benefits for savings,
for charitable contributions,
and for those planning for
retirement. It also gives some
tax relief for two-earner
couples, older Americans sell
ing their homes and taxpayers
who pafi' for the care of a child
while they work.
Tax withholding rates for
individuals were reduced by 5
percent Oct. 1, 1981 and are
scheduled to be cut another 10
gercent July 1, 1982, followed
y an additional 10 percent
cut July 1, 1983.
Beginning in 1985, the in
dividual tax irackets. the per
sonal exemption amount, and
the zero bracket amount will
be indexed to avoid in
dividuals being pushed into
higher tax brackets by infla
tion.
Married couples filing
joint returns have often been
subject to higher taxes than
two single individuals earning
the same income. In 1982, 5
percent of ‘the first $30,000
earnings of the husband or
wife with the lesser income
can be deducted and in 1983,
the deduction will be 10 per
cent. There is a maximum
deduction of $1,500 in 1982
and $3,000 in 1983.
For 1982 and years follow
ing, the maximum credit you
can take if you qualify for the
Child and Dependent Care
Credit will increase. If your in
come is SIO,OOO or less, then
your credit will range from
$720 or less for one child; or
$1,440 or less for two or more
children. If you have income
in excess of $28,000, the max
imum credit will be S4BO for
one child and $960 maximum
credit for two or more
children. For those persons
with incomes between SIO,OOO
and $28,000, the credit will
range from S4BO up to $720

Deficits
"
Climb
The textile/apparel trade
deficit continued to climb dur
ing the first four months of
the year, increasing 44 oger
cent over the same period in
1981, the American Texfile
Manufacturers Institute (AT
MI) reported today.
Imports of textile and ap
parel products were valued at
$3.2 gillion, a 6 percent in
crease over the same period
last year, while exports drop
ped 23 percent to $1.3 billion,
producing a $1.9 billion
deficit.
During the month of April,
the deficit rose 18 percent
over April 1981 to $354
million. Imports declined 8
percent in April to $693 while
exports dropped 26 percent
from April a year ago to $339
million.
In square yard measure
ment, imports of textile and
apparel goods rose 2 percent
during the January-April
period over the same period a
year ago to 1.83 billion square
yard equivalents (SYE). Dur
ing April, textile and apparel
imports declined 10 percent

spouse and a non-working
spouse is increased from
$1,750 to $2,250. Also, under
the new law, contributions are
no longer required to be equal
for the husband and wife.
As of Jan. 1, 1982, self
employed individuals will be
allowed a deduction for a con
tribution to a Keogh plan of
up to 15 percent of earned in
come or $15,000, whichever is
less. The previous limit was
$7,500.
The new law, starting in
1982 and continuing through
1983, allows a limited deduc
tion for charitable contribu
tions for persons who do not
itemize deductions of 25 per
cent of their first SIOO, or a
maximum of $25 for each
year. For 1984, the allowed
deduction is 25 Eercent of the
first S3OO of charitable con
tributions or a maximum
deduction of $75 for the year.
In 1985, it increases to 50 per
cent of total contributions,
and 100 percent of total con
tributions in 1986, subject to
the general restructions on
contributions. The special
deduction for non-itemizers
will expire in 1987.
Homeowners, age 55 or
older, can now exclude up to
$125,000 instead of SIOO,OOO
as previously allowed, of the
gain on the sale of their princi
ple residence if the sale came
after July 20, 1981. To qualify
for this once-in-a-lifetime ex
clusioné(g'ou must have owned
and used the é)roperty as your
principal residence for three of
the five years immediately
before the date of sale.
If you sold your home after
July 20, 1981, you now have
24 months in which to re
invest the profit in a new
home of greater or equal
value, and not pay a capital
gains tax. The IRS reminds
you that the capital gains tax
is only postponed, not
eliminated; any gain from the
sale is subtracted from the
cost or basis of your new
home, and may be taxed when
you sell that home.

tax law changes, see the free
