SIX. BISMARCK: DAILY . TRIBUNE MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1920 20,000 PEOPLE FINED WHEN THEY FAILED TO FILE Non-Compliance With Provisions of Income Tax Law Proves Costly Twenty thousand persons last year paid a tne of $6 each for failure to file an income-tax return. for 1918, ul- though their income for that year was dot taxable, The revenue act provides an exemp tion of $1,000 for single persons, $2,000 for married persons and heads of families, and an additional exemp- tion of $200 for each person dependent upon the.taxpayer, if such person. Is under 18 years of age, or incapable of self-suport. The delinquents last year were persons whose income exactly equaled the amount of the exemptions and who considered it unmecessary, therefore, to. file a return, and others whose incomes, were non-taxable be- cause of dependents, and who were under a similar mistaken impression For example, a single man with a| net income of .$1,00 was supporting a sister for whom he was allowed .an ex- emption. of $200, placing his income in the non-taxable list. he did, not file a return,, When bis delinquency was discovered through a return filed by his employer, who is required ‘to report payments of $1,000 or more to each employe he was tined bere To avoid penalty every person. whose income for the last year equalled or exceeded $1,000 or $2,000, according td thelr marital status or their status a3 the head of'a family, must file a re- turn, The law provides no exceptions, the penalty for failure. being a tine of not more than $1,000, Whether or not a person is. the “head of a family” and entitled. to.9 $2,000 exemption is a. question to be determined largely by’ circumstances surrounding each individual case. ‘The fixing of his status decides in many instances, whether his income is tax- able or non-taxable. A’ head of a family is defined by treasury regulation as “a person who actually supports and niaintains. one or.more individuals who are closely | or v connected with him by blood relation- ship, relationship by marriage, . or by adoption, and whose right .to ex- ercise family control: and provide f*r these dependents is based. upon some moral or legal obligation.” A single person is the head of a family if he is the sole support of relatives living, in the same house with him and ic he exercises control of household af- fairs.. The words “sole.sypport” are used in: the ‘sense: that. there .is no other personto whom. the dependents may look, for support. Income ‘from other ‘sources, such as “interest ou pondessteck dividends, pensions, etc. if) meagre enough. still to “leave. the recipient dependent,: does not. preclude a‘claim for exemption. ~ Such’ income, however, must be included in the re- turn of the head of the family. The $1,000 additional exemption al- lowed the head.of a family cannot. be divided between two single: members ofa hougehold...A division of respon- sibility, excludes the parties from such claim; , A single person who. does not oualify as the head of ‘a family may still claim’ an exemption, of $200 for each: person , depenjeu: upon him for support, if gach person ‘is: under 18 seas -Of pee or Incapable of self-suv- ;. pf 800. who hag left home ‘but wus fends to his mother more -than half the sum required for her support is entitled to,the $200 exemption, :pro- wided the mother ‘cannot support hee self.: Otherwise, the amount, must be censidered .as a gift and, therefore, is pot deductetle. 4 800 living at home and supporting his mother may. claim: the $2,000 exemption allowed the head of-# family,. but not an additional .ex- Pmption of $200 unless the mother is iucapable of self-support. ~ DICKINSON GROWTH SHOWN IN RECEIPTS OF THE POSTOFFICE Dickinson, Jaw. 12—Ten months have elapse since the Dickinson: clearing house association was organ- aized and during that time the banx elearings for. the.
