INCOME TAX RETURNS. au-iti- es As-ati- , Instructions relative to the making of income tax returns by married, single, or divorced persons have been issued by Collector of Internal Revenue James II. Anderson, as follows: By the requirements of the Act of 1924 every person who was single or divorced from husband or wife at any time during the year 1924 is classed as single ,and makes return on the basis of $1,000 income. A single man may have been married on the last day of March, but his return would on the basis of a single 5, man and his exemption would be or $250 for the three months when he was single, and $1,875 for the remainder of the year when he was living in the married relation. The same rule applies to widowers and widows, to divorced persons and to married persons who are living apart from husband or wives. In the case of a man who is married on Christmas day, for illustration, he reports as a single man, and has an exemption of only $1,000, since the period in the year from Christmas to December 31 is not more than half a month. The same computation applies to persons divorced or widowed for more than half a month durnig 1924. Summarized, all couples who lived in the married relation during the whole of the year 1924 have an exemption of $2,500 and are required to report on that basis; all others make a return on the basis of $1,000, although the exemption may have been higher, as determined by the circumstances of each, case Married persons for less than a year cannot both file on the basis of single persons and claim exemption in excess of the joint and single exemption as apportioned under the law. To those who receive blanks on which to make return, the figure on line 5 of Form 1040A, and on line 10 of Form 1040 fixes the basis of income for making return, as the items under deduction are subject to inquiry and and determination by it is not left to the individual to decide the uncertain questions as to who may or may not be classed as deductions authorized by law. These are defined by instructions from Washington, with which the collectors office is familiar, and by which the oifice is governed. . , porate trustee, such as ex-- e c li t o r, administrator, guardian, etc. COLUMBIA T rust Company South Main St. Salt Lake City. 125 - - giiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiuiiiiHiL IBIS $2,-12- t, i LITERARY REVIEW Editor Roy de Gawain Le Noble Caixa 2136 Rio Brazil, South America niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiuiiHs EVANS ft EARLY Funeral Directors 48 South 8tate 8treet Telephone Waeatch 6616 Lawyers Directory 1 ilBlllllSlllliaillMIIIBIIIIISIIIMPIISIIi.lIIBIIIBIIIIIIIBIIIIj Adamson Alexander Allen E Allen, H.
