Although no other secon dary schools are in the planning stage. Superintendent Wrigley said the district is watching the enrollment in north Centerville to see if a new elementary school will be needed there in the future. We cant build schools until the enrollment is enough over capacity to justify, he said. Have you ever seen a football game where a new set of rules and a new point scoring system suddenly went into effect in the fourth quarter? If this sounds wild to you, it is just about what did in tax new a passing law this year. The bill was sent to the White House and signed by the President in early October. But some of its provisions go E.HA T. CI.A KK hack to last Jan. I. This might cause you to gain some extra deductions you had not counted on and also to lose some tax adCongress vantage's you thought would lower your tax bill for this year. Ixts have the had news first. The biggest losers under the new rules are all those workers who were absent from work because of sickness or injury this year. Under the old rules, it was jxissihle for them to have free from tax up to $100 a week for much of the time they were out of work. If you were in this unfortunate (X)sition, you just lost an important tax break. The new rule's will give this $100 a week extra tax break only to those who were forced into early disability retirement before reaching age 65. For anyone else, theres no tax break even though the illness or the injury may have occurred early this year when the old rules were still in effect. Now for the good news. On the plus side of the new law are special - tax credits (retroactive to Jan. 1. 1070 for those parents who pay someone to look after the children while they are working. Theres also a credit for those 65 and older who receive a reduced Social Security In the area of child care expenses, what used to be an extra deduction for working parents has now been changed to a tax credit. Dont be fooled by this play on words. A credit is far more valuable than a deduction. For example, the tax otherwise due on your income might be $800. But you have a tax credit of $400. This automatically reduces your tax to $400 and the savings goes directly into your pocket. If that $400 had been a deduction, it only would have been worth in ac- tual dollars the $400 times your tax bracket. If you are in a 305 tax bracket, for example, it would reduce vour taxes bv 305 times $400, or $120. - . -- ; : : : The change in the rules has this added advantage, too. Many parents dont bother itemizing deductions. They are usually better off taking a percentage standard deduction. For them, an extra deduction was meaningless. But a tax credit is as good as money in their savings account. Another new feature is the : : all-ne- Credit for the Elderly. It applies to those 65 and older who have a minimum amount of Social Security income hut who have other income (it may he. for example, a company pension or savings account interest) income which on tax would otherwise he due. Remember, it is a credit, which means more to you in saved dollars than a deduction. This Credit for the Elderly ; replaces what used to be known as Income Credit, the Retirement which unfortunately affected very few people. These are the principal changes in the new tax law for individuals which have a direct bearing on this years tax, retroactive to Jan. 1, 1976. There were other changes which may affect your timing in selling stocks or, if you have retired, your home. I will deal with some of those important, ; changes next week. |
