OOOOOCBBBBBBD Tax Tips I Did you deduct 50 percent of your premiums (up to a maximum of $150) for medical and hospitalization insurance policies on your return last year? Many taxpayers overlooked this deduction, according to the Illinois Society of Certified Public Accountants, who add that a similar allowance for such permiums paid during the 1968 tax year is permitted on returns due on or before April 15. The balance of such payments in excess of $150 are to be treated as ordinary medical expenses, entitling you to a further deduction in the event your total medical expenses are in excess of three percent of your adjusted gross income. Here's how it works: You paid $280, for example, ' for insurance coverage in 1968. Ydur adjustedgross income was $6,000. You alsopaid $30 in doctor's bills for your 67-year old dependent father who was not covered by insurance or Medicare. You can deduct $140 (50 percent) of the $280 paid in insur- * ance premiums. This is your total allowable medical deduction, since the balance of premiums ($140) and the payments to your father's doctor ($30) are less ($170) than three percent($180) of your adjusted gross income. Assume, however, that your father's doctor bills were $300. In this case, you can claim a deduction of $400 -- $140, as before, plus $260 representing the balance when $180! ( 3 percent of your adjusted gross income) is subtracted/from the $40 total of the rest of your insurance payments ($140) and the ($300) paid your father's doctor. But maybe your question about medical deductions is a little different and you need individual advice. If so you may take advantage of another free service of the Illinois Society of CPAs, called Dial-a-Tax- Question, a program now in its third year. One hundred fifty CPAs experienced in preparing tax returns will be .standing by to answer your personal income tax questions by telephone. No charge. The number to call and the times are: Chicago, 641-1090, 6:30 -8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, March 3 through March 14. ixpayers frequently fail to take other allowable medical deductions, overlooking such expenses, as: Transportation charges for visits to the doctor's office, such as taxi fare, or a mileage of five cents a mile when driving your own car. Airline and railroad fares are also deductible for visits to a specialist in another city for diagnosis or treatment of a specific illness or disability. The cost of artificial teeth, eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthopedic shoes and braces, elastic hosiery, etc., are also deductible. If your wife lost her frowning glory as the result of an illness the cost of a wig or artificial hairpiece will be allowed by the IRS. The costs of hairpieces or toupees for men are not deductible, however, since baldness is a natural condition for men, according to the ERS, and not one that is likely to be seriously injurious to the male ego. You cannot deduct payments for funerals, illegal operations or narcotics. The cost of vitamin pills or iron supplements can be deducted when prescribed by a physician for treatment of a specific deficiency. The cost of birth control pills are deductible when prescribed for a women whose mental or physical health wouldbe endangered by having a child. The cost of whiskey, when prescribed for a patient suffering from a chronic heart condition, is deductible. The cost of WED. MARCh 5, 1969 - PLA1NDEALEI^ - PG. 11 a special diet for the same patient, even though ordered by a physician, is not, since it is considered a substitute for the food he would normally eat. The cost of installing an elevator, which does not increase the value of a home but is ordered by a physician for use by a cardiac patient, can be deducted as a medical expense. The" cost of swimming lessons improving the patient's general health is not deductible, however, since the regulations hold that deductible medical expenses must be incurred in the cure and treatment of specific illnesses and disabilities. Keep in mind that deductions, for medical expenses must be claimed for the year in which the expenses were paid. The cost of nursing care for sick or elderly people who cannot take care of themselves is deductible, as are those portions Of monthly life-care payments to retirement homes relating specifically to medical treatment and care. The balance of such payments covering food, lodging, entertainment, etc., should not be deducted as a medical expense. IN OUR OPINION We would question the wisdom of the farmer, who uses eggs from his highest producing hens for market purposes entirely, and eggs from his poorest producers for hatching purposes. Might we also question the wisdom of the way of life among humans, where the birth rate is in INVERSE ratio to intellectual ability and mental achievement?
