" You may think that listing your income is the easiest part ot tax filinp. Actually, according to the Internal Revenue Service, this is where taxpayers make the greatest number of errors. Not all the money that may have come to you during 1955 needs to bo reported on your tax form. For example you may have received "dividends" on an insur ance policy. Don't list them as divi dends, because they aie considered -merely a 'refund of part cf the premium you paid. Don't include Social Security benefits. Railroad Retirement Act benefits, or payments received under Workmen's Compensation laws. Don't list gifts you received, although the giver may have to pay a gift tax. However, tips and other compensation for services must be reported. Do not report inheritances and bequests. The estate may be taxed but not the recipient. Personal Damages Not Taxed Damages received for personal injuries are not considered taxable income, whether awarded by a court or settled out of court. When listing your income you can also forget about government bene fits to veterans and their families, except non-disability retirement pay and the Interest on terminal leave bonds. The interest on stale and muni cipal bonds is also tax exempt. Although compensation for serv ices is generally taxable, whether paid in money or otherwise, the law specifically exempts the rental value cf a parsonage furnished to a min ister or the rental allowance expend ed by him for this purpose. The official tax instructions con tain a list of the types of income which should or should not be included in your tax return. It is important to check this carefully. Prizes and Awards , There is an interesting rule on prizes they are only taxable if you worked for them. Even the slightest action on your part to earn the prize such as appearing on a quiz program or writing -a slogan makes it taxable income. But prizes award ?d for scientific, literary or other achievements with out any action by you to bring about your selection would be regarded as gifts to you rather than taxable income. Some income, such as limited amounts of "sick pay" and the first $50 of certain dividends, must be explained in the tax return but are not taxed. The instructions that come with your tax forms give further in formation. Help is also available from the Internal Revenue Service, which urges you to consult a prop erly qualified advisor if you need outside assistance. ftexl article : Your Tax Bill. Exemptions - Cut W.
