SEPARATE RETURNS
SOMETIMES HELP
If either you or your
spouse had large medical or
dental expenses in 1977, it
may be to your advantage to
file separate federal tax
returns. The medical-dental
expense deduction (except
for shall of the first $3OO of
medical ' insurance
premiums) is reduced by 3
per cent of adjusted gross
income. By filing separately,
the 3 per cent would be
applied against a lower
income, thereby allowing a
larger deduction. But work it
out both ways (separate and
joint returns) to be sure
you’re choosing the right
method for you.
