TAX FACTS A large number of northern Illinois residents who do not have a retirement program at their place of work now have an opportunity to make financial plans for their future, ac­ cording to IRS District Director Charles F. Miriani. "Some say it's a poor man's tax shelter, while others call it a do-it-yourself pension plan," said Miriani. Officially it's called an individual retirement account, an important part of a new pension law that permits qualified employees to make tax-deductible contributions of 15 percent of their earnings, up to a maximum of $1,500 each year, into an individual retirement program. According to Miriani, a person who is not now covered by a pension or a profit-sharing plan can make arrangements with an appropriate financial institution to set aside part of their earnings. The individual pays no tax on the contributions or the interest earned until the money is withdrawn, normally at retirement. "At that time, the changes are good the person will be in a lower tax bracket, plus the contributions made during the program are tax deductible," said Miriani. So many times it appears tax benefits are available only to larger income taxpayers. With the individual retirement ac­ count, a very real tax benefit is now available to low and middle income people, Miriani said. "To take advantage of this, an eligible person simply chooses the plan best suited to their needs. But to get the tax deduction for this year, a plan must be in effect and a con­ tribution must be made before Dec. 31, 1975, the director said. For more information visit your nearest IRS office or call the toll-free telephone number listed in your local telephone directory for a new publication with details on eligibility, how to start your individual retirement account, and the tax benefits available.

Over 500 Halloween celebrants enjoyed the second annual Haunted House at the East campus gym in McHenry last Friday evening. The youngsters, displaying their bravery, got down on their hands and knees and crawled through the huge boxes that marked the entry way to the Haunted House. Many lost their show of courage at the sight of the first spook. The Jaycees of the McHenry area, dressed as ghosts, zombies and other unmentionable creatures, hid in the shadows of the dark room with only a blinking strobe light while weird sounds blared from a tape recorder. Some young ones closed their eyes and held on to a friend as they hurried to an exit back to "civilization". So if you see a youngster walking briskly past East campus on a dark night, you can be sure he paid a visit to the Haunted House.
