Through the late sixties, Utah was one of five states with the highest unemployment rate in the nation. However, when the 1973 reports are all in, Utah's jobless rate is pected to be lower than at least 20 other states. With the Utah economy turning in a remarkable performance for the second straight year, the State's rate of unemployment would appear to a contradiction. It is simply a case of the number of people who want to wor kin Utah also increasing at a rapid rate. Utah's work force the number of people working or inwho are looking for work creased 4.6 percent during 1973. This is well above the nortnal rate of increase.

Roland V. Wise, IRS District Director for Utah, pointed out that misunderstanding of the dependency rules, particularly on the part of divorced or separated parents, is a recurring problem in IRS audits. " Generally, the parent with custody of the child for the greater part of the year is entitled to the dependency deduction. However, there are exceptions to this rule, depending on the terms of the decree and the amount contributed to the child's support by the parent who does not have custody, Mr. Wise said. Utah taxpayers can get infor-- ' mation by calling or visiting the nearest IRS office or by sending a postcard to Internal Revenue Service, U. S.
