The article outlines 1972 tax changes expanding deductions for child care and dependents. Eligible filers with adjusted gross income up to $18 000 can claim up to $100 a month, with phaseouts beyond $18,000. Deductions cover in home and outside care costs, including day care and nursery services, for dependents aged 1 and older, plus certain disabled or dependent relatives.
The deduction is computed monthly with expenses listed first for within the home then outside. For children under 15, reductions apply in two parts. Disabled dependents reduce by the excess of gross income plus nontaxable disability payments over 750 per year. A disabled spouse reduces by nontaxable disability payments. After these reductions, remaining expenses or 100 monthly, whichever is smaller, are halved by the excess over the adjusted gross income. A Form 2431 must accompany Form 140.
