DES MOINES The 1970 federal income tax tables reflect the $1100 low income allowance from the 1969 Tax Reform Act. IRS Iowa director John Haplon explains the allowance and the $625 personal exemption remove tax liability for a single person with no dependents until income reaches $1725, or $2350 for a single person 65 or over, with tables up to $10,000. Taxpayers earning $10,000+ or itemizing must still compute their own tax.
