| | Tax Eased on Dividends and Retirement Income

8

|
| A retired couple may now receive an income of $5,730 without paying |
| any federal income tax whatsoever, i/ at least $1,326 of their income |
| 1s from dividends. This is the way it works under the new tax law |
(omitting cents):
Subtract dividends they are al-
towed to exclude ($560 each):
$100.
Reduce the remaining $5,630 by
the standard deduction of 10%:
$563.
Subtract their exemptions ($1,200
he they are both over 65):
Taxable income: $2,667.
Tax at 20% (income splitting of
joint return keeps them in low-
est bracket): $538.
Subtract dividend credit, limit be-
ing 2% of $2,667: $53.
Remaining tax: $480,
Subtract retirement income credit
at 20% of taxable income up
to $1,200. Assuming both hus-
band and wife are eligible total
credit would be 20% of $2,400
($480).
Result: no tax.
Dividend Exclusion and Credit
There are good many “ifs” and
dividends.
All taxpayers (regardless of age
or retired status) are entitled un-
der the new law to exclude from
their incomes the first $60 of divi-
dends received in 1954. Husband
and wife can each exclude up to
$50 if they both own stock. A credit
of 4% of dividends beyond this
amount received after July 31, 1964,
may be subtracted from the tax
~ The 4% dividend credit is lim-
ited to 2% of your taxable income
or the calendar year 1954 (and fis
al years ending before 1955), but
vill go to 49% of taxable income for
uture years.
The dividends referred to do not
nclude so-called dividends from

| salaries and professional fees, above
the spread between those costs
and net profits.
For most commercial growers
of vegetables and fruits,
profitable fertilizer practices fall
into four main categories: know-
ing what the soil lacks for the
specific crop; applying the right
fertilizer at the right time; proper
placement, and, through experi-
ence and consultation with county
agent, cannery fieldman and other
specialists, knowing how much
additional fertilizer would give
maximum profitable yield—not
necessarily highest yield obtain-
able.
Retirement Income Credit
The computation of retirement |
income credit is rather compif- |
cated. You are eligible if:
1. You earned more than $600 a
year in any ten calendar years, |
or your deceased husband or
wife did. !
2. You are at least 65 or have re- |
tired under a public retirement |
system other than for the U., S. |
armed forces. i
Your credit 18 20% of your tax- |
able income from any public retire- |
ment system (other than armed |
forces pensions)-—and, if you are
65 or older 20% of your other pen-
sions, annuities, interest, dividends
and rent.
This credit fs limited to 209% of
$1,200; reduced by any social secur- |
ity benefits, railroad retirement
benefits, and (for anyone under 75)
any earned income, such as wages,
Adequate Supplies
This year growers will find fer-
tilizer supplies adequate. Overall
nitrogen, phosphate and potash
stocks are ‘expected to be suffi-
sient in most sections, according
to Dr. Willard H. Garman, agrono-
mist of the American Plant Food
Council, though he notes that
shortages of specific materials
have already occurred and may
again in certain areas. Biggest
single problem of the fertilizer
industry, seasonal distribution,
would be solved, Garman says,
by more farmers taking delivery
in the fall and winter.
A 10-15 per cent increase in fer-
tilizer supplies over M53 is fore-
cast by R, L. Cook of Michigan
State College department of soil
science. However, if present trend
of increased use continues, Cook
feels that supply will barely meet
demand.
Indicative of greater usage is
the record of the Ohio Top Ten
Tomato Club as summarized by
E. C. Wittmeyer, Extension horti-
culturist, Ohio State University.
Among the combination bf prac-
tices which have boosted average

wise payable; that is, it cannot in |
itself produce a refund. |
Taxing of Annuities
There is also a new method of
taxing amnuities which may result
in a higher tax for some, lower for
others. It is based on tables of life |
expectancy furnished by the In. |
ternal Revenue Service. Each year,
if you quality for this method, you |
may receive tax-free an amount
equal to the cost of the annuity
divided by the number of years of
life expectancy at the time you be-
gan receiving payments from the
annuity.
Additional Information
Be sure to read the official in-
structions. You can also get help
from the Internal Revenue Service,
which urges you to consult only
qualified advisers.
