TAX FACTS ALIMONY Statisticians point out that the divorce rate in America has been climbing steadily in the last few years. That probably means that more and more taxpayers are making alimony or child support payments. If you're making such payments, you want to make sure that you take all the tax breaks you are allowed, in­ cluding some new ones. As of 1977, alimony is an adjustment to income instead of an itemized deduction. This means you don't have to itemize your deductions anymore in order to claim the alimony you pay. Here's an example of how this difference in the law can affect your taxes: Suppose you are single, have a gross income of $25,000, make alimony payments of $5,000, have itemized deductions of $1,000, and claim one personal exemption In 1976. that meant that your itemized deductions totaled $6,000 After subtracting the $6,000 and your exemption of $750, you had a taxable income of $18,250. Your final tax liability, after subtracting your general tax credit, was $4,411. In 1977, using the new tax tables with the zero bracket amount, personal exemptions, and the general tax credit built into them, you would subtract your alimony from your gross income to get a tax table in­ come of $20,000. Your tax $om the tables would be $3,999. You have realized a tax savings of $412. If you are divorced, you may also be making child support payments And if your divorce decree doesn't specify which parent is entitled to claim your children's exemptions, you may be entitled to claim the exemptions, provided you paid a certain amount of child support In the past, if you contributed $12,00 or more towards the support of your children, and your former spouse who had custody of the children couldn't prove that he or she contriubted more than you did, you were entitled to claim the exemp­ tions for the children. In a new change for 1977, you may have to have contributed more in child support in order to claim the exemptions for your children on your tax' return The new law states that you now have to pay at least $1,200 for each child in order to claim the exemptions. Remember, that's $1,200 for each child and not for several children • Here's how this provision could affect you: Your divorce decree doesn't say who will be allowed to claim your children for tax purposes In 1976, you contributed $1,300 towards the support of your two children. Your, former spouse, who has cus^jdy.' could only sub- stanBWe $800 towards their support. Under the special rule, you were allowed both exemptions. In 1977, you expect to con­ tribute $1,500 towards the support of the children. Even though you contribute more this year than last, you are not. entitled to claim the exemp­ tions for your children, because you did not contribute at least $1,200 or more towards the support of each child. xv ADVERTISED ITEM POLICY Each of these advertised items is required to be reedily available for sale at or below the advertised price in each ACrP Store, except as specifically noted in this ed. T6 Energy Savers For the Home This winter, your energy bill doesn't have to take the heat because warm temperatures in your home or apart­ ment keep the chill out. Here are a few conservation hints that can help you save kilowatts'and BTU's throughout the house. * HOME HEATING TIPS 1. Caulk and weatherstrip doors and windows 2. Install storm windows and doors; double-layered ther­ mal glass panes also retain heat. 3. Insulate attic and walls up to a depth of six inches. 4. Install a clock thermostat for different night and daytime heat settings 5. Keep draperies and shades open in sunny windows; close them at night. 6. Portable heaters can warm a single room at much lower cost than running central heating. IN THE KITCHEN 1. Make sure dishwasher is full and allow dishes to air-dry after final rinse. 2. Don't open refrigerator or freezer more than necessary and avoid frost build-up which makes units work harder. 3. A freezer packed to full capacity generally uses less energy. 4. Bake several dishes in the oven at the same time and pre-heat only when necessary 5. You can lose 20% of heat by "oven peeking," so use the timer. 6. Thaw frozen meats to reduce cooking time. IN THE LAUNDRY 1? Wait until you have a full load and never use hot water when you can substitute cold. 2. Over-drying is a waste of energy and car, wrinkle and shrink clothes. IN THE BATH 1. Repair leaky faucets. One drop per second wastes 700 gallons of hot water per year. 2. A shower requires only half as much hot water as an atefage tub bath.
