Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah, said today. These include union member- ship dues, employment agency fees and alimony payments. Mr. Wise, said that alimony or sepa- rate maintenance payments are deductible if they are to lie made periodically under a di- vorce decree or other court order, Payments made for child sup- port, however, are not deductible expense although they may lie counted in determining if a taxpayer has provided more than one-haa dependent's support. The costs associated with the management of property held for the production of income are also deductible, Mr. Wise said. These would include investment counsel fees, amounts spent for a safe deposit box to hold stocks and bonds, and appraisal fees to establish the amount of a taxable transaction such as a casualty loss. Mr. W!-said commuting expenses are not deductible as they are legally classified as personal expenses. Other personal expenses which are not deductible are losses from the sale of a personal residence or family car, home repairs, and insurance, attorney fees for the preparation of a will and the cost of a safe deposit box used to keep personal belongings.
