' Taxes And Wi vj&- ing Rate WORKW1SE SECTION 2 - PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST. 24.1171 Working couples, especially those with few or no depen­ dents, more often than not will owe tax when they file their annual tax return, unless they have paid additional taxes during the year, the internal Revenue Service said. The reason for owing ad­ ditional tax is the withholding rates. They are based solely on each individual's wages, and do not take a spouse's wages into account. The withholding rate is lower for married persons than for anyone else. For example, the highest tax rate applicable to a couple filing a joint return with only one wage earner making $26,000 is up to 32 percent. The withholding would be adequate. But a working couple - one spouse with total wages of $10,00b and the other with total wages of $16,000 - might have insufficient withholding to cover the tax rate on their combined total wages of $26,000. There are several alter­ natives for a working couple combat a large tax bill at filing time. Generally, filing separate returns is not the answer, because those rates are higher still, according to the IRS. Yet it is good tax planning to consider the possibility. Filing separately might be a tax advantage, but if it is not, there are two other choices. One way to confront un- derwithholding is to pay the additional tax by means of estimated taxes. This means that the amount is paid in quarterly installments directly to the IRS using vouchers that come with Form 1040-ES, "Declaration of estimated Tax for Individuals." Another choice is to file a revised Form W-4, "Em­ p l o y e e ' s W i t h h o l d i n g Allowance Certificate," with the employer claiming fewer or no allowances or requesting additional withholding. Also, married taxpayers may choose to have taxes withheld as if they were single. Both Forms 1040-ES and W-4 are available from local IRS offices. Most employers have supplies of Form W-4. While most employers are willing to honor the wishes of employees by withholding additional income tax, they are under no obligation to do so. If an employer refuses to withhold additional tax, the best choice then may be to pay estimated tax. Additional information may be found in the IRS Publication 505, "Tax Withholding and Declaration of Estimated Tax," available free at local IRS offices. 1. I am seven months pregnant and planning to take a leave of absence from work. After the baby is born, I plan to return to work. Recently I heard that pregnant workers could get disability. Is this correct? On Oct. 31, 1978, President Carter signed into law, legislation giving pregnant workers the same rights and b e n e f i t s a n e m p l o y e r m a y provide other temporarily disabled workers. One part of the law became effective upon signing, guaranteeing pregnant workers the same rights to retain seniority and job rights as provided for other non-work- related illnesses or injuries. The second part of the law Knows? sTNi father Gearing Up For Safety Although it's the auto­ mobile driver, not the mo­ torcyclist, who's at fault in most motorcycle-car accidents, the motorcycle rider can do a lot to pro­ tect himself by wearing proper protective gear. Motorcyclists are three times more likely than occu­ pants' of other motor vehicles involved in acci­ dents to sustain serious injury. Recent studies show many injuries can be pre­ vented if the motorcyclist wears a helmet, among the most effective items of safety equipment he can buy. According to the Motor- fltyeie Safety Foundation, Jhumerous studies from around the world docu* ment the effectiveness of safety helmets in prevent­ ing or reducing the sever­ ity of head injuries in motorcycle accidents. Some of these studies date back more than 30 years. Other equipment that offers protection includes a face shield or goggles which are shatterproof and scratchfree; leather gloves; strong over-the-ankle boots; and a long-sleeved jacket and pants, possibly made of leather. Helmets obviously don't prevent accidents from happening. Nor do they provide guaranteed protec­ tion from injury in all circumstances. But helmets, along with other protective gear, offer riders protection that simply isnt available any other way. • • • * Persuasion is what you hear from those who want you to accept their plans. Is it true that the best cooks cook by the weather? Yes, there is scientific basis for cooking by the weather. Experienced chefs know that there are certain cakes and icings which cannot be satisfactory made in rainy weather. Cakes fall and icings turn out too grainy. Certain can­ dies, like pralines, do not be­ come creamy. This is due to the great amount of moisture in the air, which is picked up by the ingredients. Because moisture has such a great effect on certain kitch­ en products many recipes are varied--are slightly dif­ ferent in the dry western states from those recommend­ ed in the other states, proof that the weather has a con­ siderable effect on cooking. Altitude also has an effect on various recipes. This is m The helmet you wear should have a full face shield. It should be securely fastened, fit snugly and have reflect­ ive material on the side and back.
