To help assure that those who qualify for the earned in-come credit do not overlook it, and as a convenience, this year the worksheet for the credit appears on page 2 of the 1040 and 1040A tax packages. Personal Tax Credit Tax Forms 1040 and 1040A for 1976 also provide for tax-payers to take a personal tax credit of $35 each for them-selves and listed dependen-ts or 2 percent of the first $9,000 of taxable income, whichever is greater. A number of taxpayers who filed Form 1040 last year will receive Form 1040A, the I'RS advised. Those receiving the shorter form could have filed it. instead of Form 1040. a SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Federal income tax packages for 1976 have been delayed but will be on their way to area taxpayers during the second week of January, 1977, the Internal Revenue Service said. Both the Form 1040 and the Short Form 1040A reflect various changes in the law stemming from passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1976, according to the IRS. These changes cover such areas as child care expenses, income received during retirement, business use of a home, and sick pay, among other provisions that are ef-fective for tax ' year 1976. New tax tables enable those with taxable incomes of up to $20,000 to determine their taxable income at a glance, without calculating rates. The tables must be used whether or not the taxpayers itemize deductions or use the standard deduction. Beginning this year, some of the eligibility requirements for the Earned Income Credit haved been liberalized. However, the IRS reminded taxpayers who are eligible for the credit that they still must file a tax return to receive it. The credit equals 10 percent of the first $4,000 of earnings and is phased out as adjusted gross income rises from $4,000 to $8,000. It is refun-review of records by the IRS revealed. If the taxpayers' situation has changed since they last filed a return, however, they should check to see if they can reduce their taxes by itemizing deductions of Form 1040, the IRS cautioned. As a result of this year's legislation, the standard deduction, which must be used by those using Short Form 1040A, remains 16 per-cent, with a maximum of $2,800 for married persons filing jointly ($1,400 for married individuals filine separately), and $2,400 for single persons. The 1040 and 1040A tax packages both contain infor-mation to answer most questions about deductions and completing the tax returns, along with an order blank for requesting free publications or extra forms from the IRS. Supplies of forms and instructions will also be available at many banks and Postal Service of-fices, the IRS said. e're happy to be of service to 8 you all the year round, and happy & g 2 to extend good wishes for your" 2 happiness and joy this festive season.T' g Jim Danklef Chevrom a Service jjj i 186 East State Road - Pleasant Grove 3 to Detving up A f5 m , generous portions of )i 'i j ; holiday happiness to our ilevotetl ; M patrons, adding a sprinkle of t 1 ' ! .4 good cheer and thanks! j 1 WESTWINDS RESTAURANT I 1 a ' ' HSanta 2oms I in, his pack U xW fil,cdto I I ":-- Ji overflowing g ASf withjoy' I 8 4 VJ ' yry peace, and I I'X contentment g for all. jjj '"'NMw4n v" i Happy ho,idays g M li? and thanks. 8 I Gene Harvey Chevrolet g American Fork g jrfi iSKij lilpCvj'vJ 'Tifif S?ist Sj'w jlvi t'tjjvI Nii !

McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association "Also, many parents are so busy trying to provide the best for their children that they spend little time with them. Children badly need to learn participation with adults. A regular play hour can help establish family harmony better than anything else. "All kinds of games and projects can be developed which everyone can enjoy. This helps to develop a feeling of group solidarity which is essential for the equality it promotes and for the harmonious atmosphere it creates. "When parents and children have fun together, few serious problems of discipline arise." So, my wish for you this Christmas is many hours in the best "school" anywhere for learning to be a parent your own home with your own children. by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty It's a shocking experience to hear somebody tell you that he really didn't like his father. But in these days of out-spokenness, these comments are sometimes heard. And the tragedy of the situation is that the person who says such things may be telling the truth. It's a reflec-tion of a great gap in the education we receive. Where in the world do adults go to learn how to be parents? ftnmo nnrpnt.s read Dr. Spock, others get hints from ladies' magazines. More adults watch instructive TV shows. Many go in desperation to the friend nex-- t door for advice. The PTA initiates lessons in "paren-ting." Some classes in com-munity schools, colleges and high schools are taught. Yet that delicate, com-plicated relationship between parent and child too often seems to meet with disaster. I like what one writer has to say on the subject. It's this: "It is easy to play with the baby or the toddler. But in so many homes we find that before long the children are playing together and the parents go about their own business. "The breach widens to the point where adults are on one side, correcting, admonishing, fighting with the children; and on the other side, the young ones are united together against their paren-ts. |
