INCOME TAX FACTS.
Changes in the revenue law are of
material benefit to the average family
man. Under the revenue act of 1921
a married person, living with wifff or
husband, whose net income for 1921
was $5,000 or less is allowed a per
sonal exemption of $2,600. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the exemption al
lowed a married person was $2,000, re
gardless of the amount of net income.
The normal tax rate is the same, 4
per cent on the first $4,000 of nfet in
come above the exemption, and 8 per
cent on the remaining net income.
Given his personal exemption of $2,
500, plus $400 for each dependent, a
married man with three children—the
average American family—will pay
this year on a net income of $4,000 a
tax of $12. On the same income for
1921 he would have paid a tax of $56.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for him
self whether his income for 1921 was
sufficient to require that a return be
filed. Full instructions for making out
a return are containing on the forms
a copy of which will be sent to tax
payers who filed a return last yeai.
Failure to receive a return, however,
does not relieve a taxpayer of his ob
ligation to file a return on time, on or
before March 15, 1922. Forms may be
obtained from collectors of internal
revenue and branch offices.
