Taxpayers will find that the biggest surprise in the tax returns this year is the fact that they are easier to fill out. Less detailed information is required on both medical expenses and contributions to charity. Doctor, dentist and hospital payments can now be lumped and the total given without itemization. The same is tnje of cash contributions for which receipts or cancelled checks can be produced if the IRS requests them. In previous years tax payers were required to supply detailed information to be used by Uncle Sam in assigning revenue-sharing funds to local communities. This has now been boiled down to a space for one’s county of residence. It is no longer necessary to use a separate form to allocate a dollar of one’s tax payment (two dollars in the case of joint returns) to an election campaign fund to be drawn on by all political parties in future presidential rpces. Now it’s just a matter of checking a box on Form 1040. A second box can be checked if the taxpayer failed to allocate a dollar to the election fund last year % Lancaster Farming. Saturday, Feb. 9,1974 Year to do so but wishes retroactively. Last year taxpayers with income from dividends or interest over $2OO had to itemize it on a separate Schedule B. Now Schedule B has been eliminated. Total amounts received from dividends and interest are entered on page 1 of Form 1040. Elimination of Schedule B also makes it possible for persons with interest or dividend income over $2OO to use the short form, 1040 A, if they wish. Generally, Form 1040 A has been simplified, too - along the lines of the changes in the long form. The improvements in the tax forms mean that now more than ever taxpayers who had no complicated financial transactions during the year should be able to prepare their own tax returns.

YOU CAN COUNT ON US HENRY S. LAPP R.D.I - Cains Consumers' Corner Allowances Help Child Allowances help introduce chil dren to the world of living on a fixed income But an allowance given before age five will not have much training value When you think your child can begin to assume the responsi bility for a little money, that’s when you, the parents and the ehild need to plan the allowance together. First, you must decide what the allowance will be for Does it cover birthday presents and pres ents for family members'’ Is it to be used to pay for school sup plies or lunches’ Then, get a fair estimate of how much money this will take by having the child keep track of the money spent on these items for a few weeks When the ex penses are totaled, add a little more for the child to spend freely A youngster won’t get any prac tice spending money and using judgement if every cent is plan ned. in advance The amount of the allowance needs to undergo changes as the child grows older And sometimes, even with good management on the part of the child, emergencies will arise Let the child know you are willing to discuss problems Weigh the merits of each case when deciding if the child needs extra money or not To be sucess ful, an allowance must be regular and in line with a child’s activi ties and abilities Phone: 717-442-8134 13 Gap, Pa. 17527
