The column answers questions most frequent­ ly asked by taxpayers. Q. Because of an jnfury, I missed 40 days of work. The sick pay I received during this time equalled my normal weekly pay. Can I exclude this sick pay from my income? A. Generally, whether sick pay may be excluded from income de­ pends on the rate of the sick pay for the first 30 days of absence. In a case like yours, in which sick pay is more than 75 percent of normal weekly pay, you must be out of work at least 30 days to exclude any sick pay from your income. So your 40-day absence qualifies you to exclude the sick pay received after the first 30 days. When the sick pay is less than or equal to 75 percent of normal pay, the sick pay is excludable from the first day if you are hospitalized, and after seven days if not hospi­ talized. For more information on sick pay deductions, see IRS Publica­ tion 522, "Adjustments To Income For Sick Pay." Q. I took two days off from my two week vacation trip to attend a district sales meeting in the city I was visiting. Are any of my ex­ penses deductible as business ex­ penses? A. Any expenses directly attrib­ utable to the business conducted during the two days may be claimed as a business expense de­ duction. However, since the trip was primarily a vacation, none of your travel expense, including meals and lodging, is deductible as business expense. You should back up any busi­ ness deduction claims with re­ ceipts and detailed notes of what you spent, where, and for what business transaction. Q. My wife and I have a joint savings account.

You and your wife should • report your respective shares of interest in the same way you re­ port other income. Q. I plan to use the State Sales Tax Tables to determine the sales tax deduction on my 1975 return. Do the tables include tax I paid on my new car? A. No. If you use the Optional State Sales Tax Tables to calculate your deduction, you may add the k sales tax paid on your car to the deduction amount shown in the tables. If the state sales tax rate on motor vehicles is higher than the general sales tax rate, that part of the tax paid equal to a tax imposed at the general sales tax rate is deductible. This sales tax provision applies also to the pur­ chase of airplanes, boats, mobile homes, and the materials used to build a new home if you are your own contractor. Q. When I left my old job I re­ ceived a lump sum from my em­ ployer's pension plan. May I use the money to open an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)? A. Yes. The taxable portion of your lump sum distribution may be transferred to an individual re­ tirement savings account, even though you would not otherwise be eligible to establish one. How­ ever, the transfer of the money must be made within 60 days after receipt of the lump sum distribu­ tion. The amount you may transfer tax free is the total amount of the distribution you received, less any contribution you, the employee, have made. Q. My son, a college student, re­ ceives a $2500 per year scholar­ ship. This year I paid an additional $1800 for all his other living ex­ penses. Since this $1800 appears to be less than half the money he has to live on, do I lose him as a de­ pendent? A. Any scholarship your child, stepchild, foster child or legally adopted child receives for study at an educational institution is not considered in determining his to­ tal support. Therefore, since the $1800 you paid is more than half your son's total support, without the scholarship, you may claim him as a dependent. I BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE Dear Mr. Swaim, I find it dif­ ficult to believe in a super­ natural being who could sim­ ply speak the world into existence. The concept of God is far above me. The noted historian Will Durant, once wrote, "The greatest question of our time is not communism versus in­ dividualism nor Europe versus America nor even the East ver­ sus the West ; it is whether man can bear to live without God." More and more, modern peo­ ple seem to try to get away from the existence of God. I wonder, though, if we really believe that the world would run better if all men rejected God. Would there be fewer problems? Would man himself be happier and better adjus­ ted? I seriously doubt so. The most important qual­ ity about any man is what he believes, or sometimes, what he doesn't believe, and of all his beliefs, none is quite so important as what he believes about God. The man who re­ fuses to believe in God is left with a hollow feeling, that there is really no purpose for life, no reason for his existence other than the ac­ cumulation of wealth and the satisfaction of what few sen- sitory pleasures he has. He cannot explain how or why he came into being nor what T/CKET-TAKEfZ ONE. OOGr IN GREATER losa.NGEL.ES SOLVED HIS YEARNING TO RETRIEVE. BY HELPING WIS OWNER Run A PACKING LOT.

For the unbeliever, the real issues of man's existence, pur­ pose and future must be for­ ever avoided and if he really reduces his position to its logical conclusion, then he must admit that there is no absolute authority, no rule or regulation of any kind that has any bearing as to his pur­ pose. He cannot prove that love is better than hate, or good is better than bad. He cannot even prove that mur­ der,lying orstealing are wrong.

The lives of sixty percent of all children in developing countries are seriously threatened by malnutrition and curtailment of vital services caused by current economic conditions. As advocate for the world's children, UNICEF seeks to reverse these trends by assisting developing nations' programs to improve health, nutrition, education and social well-being of their children. survive as long as possible for reasonshe is really not sure of. I believe in God because He offers me the purpose, peace and power to live effec­ tively in this life and to pre­ pare for the life to come. I believe in God because He pro­ vides direction and confidence to my life, and because there is no logic to life apart from Him.
