Here's another but: If you smoke |a lot and drink a lot, you've paid a lot of Fedeéral exci®e taxes on tobacco and alcohoiic beverages— which doesn't make any difference at all in the amount of income tax you owe. |, To get back to the br of things, you can deduct ever you paid for a dog . and for ‘and auto plates | taxes on gasoline.

You can deduct bad debts, too but—you have to furnish proof of | indebtedness, proof of a date on which the debt became bad, and proof you tried to collect Real Estate Allowance And listen, don't forget property depreciation—if you have any prop- erty t's figured in accordanc with a set of standards Tixing the e of depreciation. BUT, if you in the building yourself, no 1i dice Of course, the drawback is this that it's all a matter of pencent- age. When you make a $10 deduc- tion, for example, it doesn’'t mean that you pay $10 less in taxes. Oh, no! It merely means that you have reduced by $10 the amount of tax able net income. At 4 percent, your $10 deduction will enable you to pay just 40 cents less to Uncle Sam. But isn't it a lot of fun figuring? ..
