Claim Your Full Exemptions To Cut Your 1948 Tax Bill
Washington residents are urged to claim all exemptions on the 1948 income tax return. Each exemption saves 600 dollars from the total income before tax. Exemptions cover yourself, your wife if she has no income, and each dependent who received more than half their support from you and earned under 500 dollars. Special rules apply for wives with income and for dependents with 600 dollars or more income. You may also qualify for additional exemptions for a blind wife or a wife 65 or older. Dependents include many relatives and in laws, and a child born in 1948 or one born in 1948 but died before year end qualifies for a full-year exemption. Form 1040A or 1040 short-form simplifies claiming these exemptions.
