1972 Income Tax Deductions on State and Local Taxes
Taxpayers should review state and local taxes paid before filing federal returns. Deductions via Schedule A can include real property taxes, personal taxes, income and sales taxes, and gasoline taxes. Gasoline and farm fuel credits are noted, with limitations on non business taxes such as cigarette and alcohol taxes and vehicle fees. Capital gains guidance applied to gains on other capital assets, with long and short term distinctions and the 50 percent deduction rule. A 10 percent minimum tax may affect high capital gains and the alternative tax computation.
