Revenue, 2101 Pacific Avenue,

Should Married Persons File
Joint Or Separate Returns
If you were a married person
on Dec. 31. 1954, you are con-
sidered married for the entire
year. If you were divorced or
legally separated on or before
Dec. 31, 1954, you are consid-
ered single for the entire year.
If your wife or husband died
during the year, you are con-
sidered married for the entire
year.
If husband and wife have
separate Income, they may file
separate returns or a Joint re-
turn. A separate return accounts
ior the exemptions, Income, and
deductions of only one person.
If married persons living in
community property states file
separate returns, each must re-
port half of any community in-
come. A Joint return must in-
clude all the exemptions, in-
come, and deductions of both
husband and wife. A husband
and wife may file a joint re-
turn even though one of them
had no income. A Joint return
may not be filed if either hus-
band or wife was a nonresident
alien at any time during the
taxable year.
How to Make a Separate Return
To file separate returns, hus-
band and wife must each have
income under the laws of their
State and they must fill out
separate forms. When filing
separate returns, the husband

names (for example: "John H.
and Mary D. Doe”). Both must
sign the return. You have not
filed a valid return unless It Is
properly signed.
Advantages of a Joint Return
The present law usually:
makes It advantageous for mar- \
ried ccuples to file Joint re-
turns. The law provides a
split income” method of figur-
ing the tax on joint returns
which often results in a lower
tax than would result from
separate returns. If you make a
Joint return on Form 1040A. the
District Director will figure
your tax. A joint return on ]
Form 1040A never results in
more tax than separate returns -
and wife should each claim the
deductions for those allowable
expenses paid with his or her
own funds, iln Texas and oth'r
community property States, dp
ductions resulting from pay-
ments made out of funds be-
longing Jointly to husband and
wife may be divided half and
half). If one itemizes and
claims actual deductions, in-
stead of using the tax table or
the "standard deduction,” then
both must itemize and claim
actual deductions on Long-Form
1040 returns.
How to Make Separate- Return
When Legally Divorced in 1954
In filing separate returns,
when divorced prior to Dec. 31.
1954, each spouse should claim
one-half of his (or her) income
up to the time of the divorce
end then claim their separate
income from date of divorce to
Dec. SI, 1954.
How to Stake a Joint Return
You can make a joint return
j by Including all exemptions, ln-
! come, and deductions of both
