Revenue, 2101 Pacific Avenue,

Reduced Tax Rate for "Head of
Household" and Surviving
Widow or Widower
The law provides a special tax
rate for any individual who quali-
fies as a “Head of Household.” To
qualify, you must be unmarried or
legally separated at the end of
your taxable yctr. In addition,
you must have furnished over half
the cost of maintaining as your
home a household. The home must
have been occupied for the entire
year by you and another person
for whom you are entitled to a de-
duction for exemption unless the
deduction arises from a multiple
support agreement or by your un-
married child, grandchild, or
stepchild, even though such child
is not a dependent.
You may also qualify as “Head
of.JIousehold” if you pay more
than one-half the cost of main-
taining a household (not neces-
sarily your home) which is the
home of your father or mother
and either qualifies as your de-
pendent.
If you are married to a non-
resident alien at any time during
your taxable year but otherwise
meet the foregoing tests, you are
considered a “Head of Household’
since you arc not permitted to file
a joint return.
The cost of maintaining a

household includes expenditures
for such items as:
1. Maintenance of the dwelling
and premises. For example, rent
(or if you own your own home,
real estate taxes and interest on
the mortgage), insurance on the
dwelling and premises, repairs
and upkeep.
2. Utilities such as gas, tele-
phone, electricity and water.
3. Food consumed in the home.
The value of personal services
performed by a member of the
household is not considered. It
should be noted that these expen-
ditures arc to be used only in de-
termining if you are entitled to
use of the head of household tax
rate. Do not claim them as deduc-
tions on your return unless they
are otherwise allowable.
If you qualify as a surviving
widow or widower as described
below, as well as a head of house-
hold, it will be to your advantage
to compute your tax as a surviving

widow or widower.
Surviving Widow or Widower
Subject to certain conditions, if
your husband or wife died during
your two preceding taxable years,
you may compute your tax using
only your income and deductions
but otherwise computing the tax
as if a joint return were filed.
The condilions are that (1) you
must not have remarried and (2)
you must maintain as your home
a household which is also the
home of your child or stepchild
for whom you are entitled to
claim a deduction for exemption
and (3) you must have been
entitled to file a joint return with
your deceased husband or wife in
the year of death.
