Court rules wife cannot be both exemption and dependent
The U S Court of Claims ruled that a Detroit man cannot claim his wife as both an exemption and a dependent on his federal tax return. In 1954 Joe A Dewsbury claimed two $600 exemptions for himself and his wife plus a second $600 exemption claiming the wife as a dependent. The court found Congress did not intend an extra exemption for dependency and ITS deducted the $128.95 refund portion tied to the double exemption.
