Surprise - It’ll Be
Easier To Pay Your
Taxes This
(This is the first of a series
of five articles on 1973
Federal Income Tax returns
prepared by the Penn
sylvania Institute of Cer
tified Public Accountants as
a public service.)
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

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.

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
