My Role As A Future Homemaker
A home is like a tree — em
bedded roots for long and
proper growth are required by
both in order to obtain maturi-
ty. Just as a small tree is
watered, a girl is fistilled with
attributes and characteristics;
necessary to being a good
homemaker through FI LA ac- j
tivities. Ability is devel o p ed
through association with new
activities and groups of people
Responsibility is obta i n ed
through increased work in va-
ried fields of interest. Under- j
standing is instilled through cit-j
izenship and patriotism. Oppor-
tunities appear as the result of
interest in worthwhile activities |
presented by FHA.
Through FHA one can dis- j
cover the worth of one’s self
to the life of other people. Joy
and satisfaction of family life
are of greater value when a
teenage understands the impor-
tance of authority, proper de-
cisions, and maturity. The
strengthening of education for
future roles provides the foun-
dation for success in many
ways. Launching good citizen-
ship through homemaking re-
sults in learning, living and
loving in order that the homes
of that nation may be an ex-
ample to the youth of the as-
pects involved in keeping patri-
otism high at all times,
THE CREED FOUNDATION )
The creed which is the foun
dation for our club portrays a
very satisfying glimpse of the
outline of a happy future home.
We are the Future Home-
makers of America.
We Face the future w i th

And high hope.
For we have the clear con-
sciousness of seeking
Old and previous values.
For we are the builders of
Homes where living will be
the expression of everything
That is good and fair.
Homes where truth and love

faith
Will be realities, not dreams
We are the Future Home-
makers of America.
We face the future with
warm courage
And high hope.
To be a true Future Horn I
maker of America, one must
learn to live by the creed. So
very much is at stake as we
pass from childhood to adult-
hood. Each one of us seeks the
path that will lead to true and
lasting happiness. On our jour-
ney. let the FHA Creed be- our
guide. Only by believing in and
striving for these precious
ideals can our dream come true.

Q — Is the S3 a month I
pay for supplementary medicare
insurance deductible?
A — Yea, this is considered
an allowable medical expense
along with other premiums paid
for hospital and medical insur-
ance.
Q — I took a net loss of
more than $1,000 on some stock
I sold last year. Since I can
only deduct $1,000 of the loss on
my 1966 return do I lose the
rest of it?
A — No, the excess over $1,-
000 may be carried over to
future tax years.
Q — I just started work last
year and am still waiting for
a Social Security number. W'hat
should I do about my return?
A — If you have not re-
ceived your number by the fil-
ing deadline, send in your re-
turn without it. Indicate that you
have applied for the number in
the box where it should be en-
tered.
Q — I support my mother's
brother but my friends tell me
1 can’t claim him as a de-
pendent since he does not live
with us. Is that right?
A — A person does not have
to be a member of your house-
hold to be claimed as a de-
pendent if he is closely re-
lated to you. The law considers
an uncle to be a close rela-
tion. Therefore, he is not re-
quired to be a member of your
household.
Remember that other re-
quirements for a dependency
must be met, too. These are
the support test, gross income
test, citizenship or residence
test, and the joint return test.
They are all explained in the
1040 instruction booklet.
Q — I received a sizeable
amount of severance pay last
year. Is that taxable?
A _ Yes it is. However, if
this pay abnormally boosted
your income for the year, then
you may be ablq to reduce
your taxes by taking advantage
of income averaging. Drop a
post card to your local HIS of-
fice and ask for Schedule G of
Form 1040 to get full details.
Where should I send my
return?
A — 1040 instruction booklet
and page 8 of the 1040A instruc-
tions show where you should
send your return?
Q — I moved last year be-
cause I changed jobs. Can I
take any deductions for my
moving expenses?
A — You may be able to de-
duct some of these expenses if
certain conditions are met. The
rules for claiming these ex-
penses are covered in the 1040
instructions.
A copy of Form 3903, which
may be obtained by dropping a
post, card to your local IRS of-
fice, has further information on
this deduction. It must be filed
with your 1040 if you are quali-
fied to claim this deduction.
Q — From time to time I
help my married daughter out
by making payments on their
mortgage. Can I deduct these
payments, as contributions or
take a deduction for the tax
and interest portion of the pay-
ment?
A — No. Gifts to individuals
are not considered charitable
deductions and only the person
legally responsible for making
the mortgage payments is al-
lowed to take the interest de-
ductions permitted.
Q — Does a common law-
marriage entitle you to file a
joint return?
A — If you are living to-
gether in a common law mar-
riage which is recognized by
the state where it was entered
into, you may file a joint re-
turn,
Q — I'm 65 but my wife is
not. Does that mean her medi-
calexpense s are subject to the
3 percent limitation?
A — No. When one spouse
is 65, the qualifying medical
expenses of both spouses are
fully deductible.
Q — Why isn’t income tax
withheld from farm wages? They
withhold Social Security?
A — The law does not require
employers to withhold income
tax for most agricult u r a 1
workers. These workers should
make quarterly payments of
estimated tax.
Q — I got a statement show-
ing some dividends I didn’t
actually receive. How should I
handle this when I report my
dividended income?
A — Enter the c o r r ect
amount of dividends on your
return. You should notify the
company that paid the dividends
of the error and also attanch
an explanatory note of this item
to your return. 4
Q — Do I have to report
non - taxable dividends or can
I forget them like I do my
Social Security benefits,
A — Income from non-tax-
able dividends is not subject
to income tax. However, for re-
porting purposes, such income
is inserted on lines la and Id,
Part II, page 2, Form 1040
where, as a result of the com-
putation of taxable dividends,
they are excluded from income.
Amounts received as “divi-
dends” from life sins u r a nee
policies are not to be included
with non - taxable dividends.
These amounts normally are
considered returns of premiums
and should not be reported.
FAMILY LAWYER
To help a worthy cause, you
boy a $9 ticket to a theater
party. May you deduct the $5
on your next income tax re-
turn as a charitable cootribu-
tionn?
No, because your payment
was not all charity. Yon re-
ceived something of value in
Acuities of putting a price tag
on the services of Mom to a
Girl Scout troop or of Dad to
the Community Chest.
On the other hand, if your
services require out - of- pocket
expenses for which you are not
reimbursed, they are generally charity.
dductible
For instance, the costs of
driving to a volunteer job at a
hospital, or of buying uniforms
not otherwise useful, may be
deducted. For, in a true sense,
you are “giving” this amount to
return: the show itself.- If the
regular price of tickets is $3.
you may deduct only the other
$2 — the part that was truly
a gift.
This rule has wide applica-
tion, not only in such frivolous
afreas as theater parties, chari-
ty balls, lotteries, and athletic i
events but also in such basic!
areas as health and education, j
For example:
A man claimed a deduction j
for money paid to a non-profit [
retirement home — in return
for lifetime care.
A woman claimed a deduc-
tion for money paid to a re-
ligious society — in return for
perpetual upkeep of her burial
plot.
A family claimed a deduc-
tion for money paid to a church
— in return for their son’s ed-
ucation.
But in each case, thededuc-
tion for money paid to a church
— in return for their son’s ed-
ucation.
But in each case, the deduc-
tion was not allowed. For in
each case, the payment was
held not true charity but sim-
ply a purchase of services —
like any other family expense.
The mere fact that your
payment is in the form of a
check made out to a charitable
organization does not change it
into charity if it really isn’t.
And, by the same token, a
true gift may be deductible
even if it is not in the form
of money at all. Thus, contri-
butions of food or books to a
qualified charitable organiza-
tion are deductible.
What about services that
you render? No doubt, in the
scales of virtue, donating your
services weighs as much as do-
nating your money or your
merchandise.
Nonetheless, services are
held not a deductible contribu-
tion, perhaps because of the
formidable problems of fixing
their value. Imagine the dif-
