The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) I was out of work two months because of illness, but my employer paid me sick pay. I know that to qualify for a sick pay exclusion on my fed­ eral income tax return, my length of absence must be longer than a required waiting period. How do I figure out my "waiting period?" A) The relationship of your weekly rate of sick pay to your weekly pay rate is a key fac­ tor in determining the waiting period for your sick pay ex­ clusion. If your rate of sick pay ex­ ceeds 75 percent qf your regu­ lar pay rate, your waiting period is 30 days--whether or not you were hospitalized at any time during your absence. If your rate of sick pay is 75 percent or less of your regular pay rate and you were not hospitalized at any time dur­ ing your absence, your waiting period is 7 days. If your rate of sick pay is 75 percent or less of your regular pay rate and you were hos­ pitalized for at least one day during your period of absence, there is no waiting period. For more information on the sick pay exclusion, get a copy of Publication 522, Adjust­ ments to Income for Sick Pay, by sending a postcard to your IRS District office. Q) I have already earned over $650 from my summer job. Will this cause my parents to lose the exemption they plan to claim for me next year? A) Your parents will not lose the exemption if you are a full-time student during five months of the year, or under 19 years of age at the end of the year, and they meet the other dependency tests includ­ ing furnishing over half of your total support. For addi tional information send your IRS District office a postcard requesting IRS Publication 532, Tax Information for Stu­ dents and Parents. Q) My income looks like it's going to be higher than I ex­ pected. Can I increase my withholding or do I have to pay estimated tax? A) You may meet your in­ creased liability either through higher withholding or through payments of estimated tax. Amounts withheld may be increased by not claiming all the exemptions you are en­ titled to and, if necessary, also having a specified additional amount withheld. Changes in withholding are made by filling out a new Form W-4, which may be obtained from your employer. To handle the increased tax liability through the estimated tax system, file a declaration of estimated tax by September 15. If you have already filed a declaration, you can adjust it by September 15. If you need copies of Form 1040ES and instructions, you can obtain them by mailing a postcard to your IRS District office. Comments from the Governor (The governor discusses the hated personal property tax in the following special column for Illinois newspapers.) By Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie Springfield, III.--The hottest day in summer isn ' t as hot as some of the mail I 've been receiving. If words would burn paper, most of the letters would be charred before they reached me. The writers themselves are burned up at the decision of the Il l inois Supreme Court requiring collection of the personal property tax on corporations and individ­ uals. I am burned up, too. And I 'm glad that Bil l Scott , our at torney general , wil l be appealing that decision to the United States Supreme Court if the state court fai ls to reverse i tself . He will have all the support from me that I can give him. Let there be no doubt about my posit ion -- the tax on individuals is an abomination which leads to uneven enforcement, personal in­ convenience, and severe hardship for persons l ike farmers. Some letter writers somehow have discovered a general con­ spiracy "by the poli t icians" to seek a statewide referendum to knock­ out the tax when they "knew" the court would hold the peoples ' vote null and void. All I can say to th?t is that I, too, was shocked at the de­ cision. That decision, in essence, held tha t the overwhelming vote <>! the people last November abolishing the tax on individuals conflicted with the United States consti tution. One unfortunate effect has been to discourage many cit izens from going to the polls . They ask: "What's the use of voting if our votes don't count?" Frankly, I would find i t easy to be as disgusted as the next mi>n at the present si tuation. In fact , my first reaction to the state court decision was one of astonishment and frustrat ion. Now I can' t predict that the decision will be reversed, because predicting how any court will rule is a r isky proposit ion. B u t outstanding constitu­ tional lawyers are convinced that there are ample grounds to uphold the vote of the people. I hope they are right. But if they are not, we will have to find a different way, through new legislat ion, to get r id of the tax on individuals. I am preparing a plan to do this if i t becomes necessary. I t 's t ime now to take a factual look at the si tuation, and how it affects our taxpayers: First, most individual tax­ payers still get a break by being allowed an exemption from taxes on one automobile and one household of furni­ ture. This exemption, which was not c h a l l e n g e d , e f f e c t i v e l y r e m o v e s from the personal property tax rolls more than four-fif ths of al l I l l inois individuals. Unfortunately, i t does not help farmers, who are already hard hit in many ways -- mostly in the pocketbook. Second -- and this is important -- the state government does not get one penny from the personal property tax. Every cent goes to branches of your local government. I t is s trange, therefore, that some of the most angry cit izens see some kind of "plot" in the events which were cl imaxed in the state court 's ruling. Some even accuse me of some­ how influencing the court (which just happens to have a majori ty of Democrats) . If I were to undertake to i n f l u e n c e a n y o n e , i t w o u l d most certainly be in the direc­ tion of knocking out this hated tax. As I 've said many t imes befon the tax is a rel ic. And the only way it gets collected at al l is by\ a massgevasion of the truth. According to the law, for ex­ ample, you must report the money you have in your savings account. If you did so, the tax would exceed the interest paid you by the bank, and you would suffer a dead loss for the year. This, is so ridiculous that asses­ sors long ago adopted a "rule" that you report only a small fraction of your actual bank balance. Other "rules" have in prac­ tice reduced the application of the tax to an absurdity. I think we must -- somehow -- get r id of the tax on individuals. But unti l we do, the exemption benefi t ing most individuals is st i l l in force. Meanwhile, 1 have my fingers crossed. I think the decision should be reversed. rh.,n< i l l I M m r k - ( ) | ( l > - O f > r l 'in, \ . / t o n I Mothers...
