Ask IRS This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U. S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q My three children are members of various non-profit organizations. I often give them money for fees to picnics, carnivals and other fund raising activities the groups spon­ sor. Are these fees tax deductible? A. Contributions made to any qualified non-profit organization involved solely in charitable work are deductible However, the con­ tribution is deductible only to the extent it exceeds any benefits you receive For example, if one of the non profit organizations had a picnic and the fee was $10 for the family, you must subtract the cost of the meal from your contribu tion If the meal cost $5, you can deduct the additional $5 as your contribution to the organization Q I am receiving a divorce after being separated from my husband for a year. I have custody of our 13-year-old daughter and have been her sole support. Can I claim the child as a dependent? A. When parents are divorced or separated, generally, the parent who has custody of the child for the greater part of the year may claim the dependency exemption The exceptions to this rule involve situations where the other parent contributes to the support of the child Since you are the sole support of the child, you can claim the exemption when you file your Federal tax return You may also be able to file as "unmarried head of household," by checking that filing status block on the Form 1040 or 1040A you file Q Due to a job-related injury, I recently retired from Federal em­ ployment before reaching manda­ tory retirement age. Since I wil receive a disability pension, how should that be reported on my Federal income tax return? A You should declare the total amount of your disability pension for the tax year on Form 1040 Since your retirement plan pro­ vides for payment of a disability pension upon becoming perma­ nently disabled before reaching mandatory retirement age, some or all of the amounts you receive until you reach the mandatory re­ tirement age may be excludable as sick pay That amount is also entered on Form 1040 Any amount you receive that exceeds the portion of disability payments excludable as sick pay is taxable income If you determine that you have a sick pay exclusion, attach Form 2440, Sick Pay Exclusion, to your income tax return.

The picture at right is a scanning electro-micrograph of a cockroach. The cock­ roach has been on earth for over 350 million years (twice as long as the dinosaur which became extinct 150 million years ago). He outlived the dinosaur because of his small size, unusual hardiness and in­ discriminate appetite and a- bility to adapt to changing environments. Today, the size enables the cockroach to hitchhike in grocery bags, soft drink car­ tons, coat pockets and sneak behind your stove, refrigera­ tor, kitchen cabinet and any crack or crevice. In the event it isn't a him but a her -- she may be looking for a place to lay her eggs. The German Cockroach is the most common house in­ festing species in the United States. An egg capsule from a German cockroach contains 30 to 48 eggs. These eggs hatch in about 28 days at ordinary room temperature. The life cycle consists of three stages -- egg, nymph and adult. Over fifty cockroach spe­ cies are known to live in the United States. The most com­ mon are the American, Ger­ man, oriental, brown banded, smoky brown, Australian, brown, woods and field cock­ roaches. The control of cockroaches begins with careful inspection on the part of the professional pest control technician. Many times cockroaches more fre­ quently found out-of-doors Don't take old age sitting downl Right now millions of Americans are being forcec1 to sit back and rock their lives away. Simply because they're older. Stop and think about it! It's going to happen to you. You're going to be "older someday. And you're going to have to face the same prob­ lems that exist today. Unless you start changing your attitudes about aging now. Get rid of your stereotypes'. Try and imagine what you'll be like. What you'll want to do. What you'll want to contribute. That's all we ask. But you'd better hurry. If you don't want to take your old age sitting down, get off your rocker and separate the facts from the myths. For more information on what you can do, write: The National Council on the Aging. Inc. Box 28503, Washington, D C. 20005. Get off your rocker.

Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy If Congress does not act soon, a time-honored Ameri­ can tradition will begin to disappear. The family farm and family business have their roots in the founding of this nation. That they have sur­ vived 200 years of major eco­ nomic and social change is a tribute to the men and women who run them. The current threat, which they will have great difficulty in surviving if action is not taken, is the result of our out-of-date estate tax laws. Historically, the estate tax was a means of raising reve­ nue and rates were increased and lowered as federal reve­ nue needs fluctuated. During the 1920's and 1930's, con­ cern about unreasonable ac­ cumulations of wealth by a few led to the enactment of our current estate tax. Under current law, estates are taxed at progressive rates rising from 3 percent to 77 percent, after the deduction of an exemption of $60,000. Spouses are allowed an addi­ tional exemption equal to half the estate. While only 14,500 estates were taxed in 1945, taxes were levied on approxi­ mately 150,000 estates in 1975. In the meantime, the revenue raised by these taxes has progressively diminished and today estate and gift taxes combined account for less than 2 percent of federal revenues. The reason for the expand­ ing burden of the estate tax is that the $60,000 exemption has remained constant since 1942, a period during which inflation increased 225 per­ cent. In many areas, land val­ ues have risen even faster. S60.000 may barely cover the value of a home. It does not cover the value of the assets of hundreds of small busi­ nesses and is less than a quar­ ter of the value of the average family farm. What makes the estate tax particularly onerous for fam-- ily farms and businesses is that a large proportion of their value is tied up in phys­ ical assets. The Agriculture Department has estimated!* that 70 to 90 percent of a typical farm's assets are in land, machinery and huildings.. The minimum possible value of a productive farm business is about $270,000, putting it in an estate tax bracket of 32 percent. This does not include state-imposed taxes. In most, cases, a portion of the farm's assets have to be sold to pay the estate tax, making contin­ uation of the business impos- • sible. Because of the impact of the federal estate tax, many family farms and small busi­ nesses must be sold, rather than passing on to spouses and children, and a great American institution is being lost. To stop this trend, I am working with other members of Congress to amend the estate tax law. I have ad­ vocated an estate tax ex­ emption of at least $200,000. Under this proposal an estate valued at $400,000 or less would pass to a spouse tax- free. This new exemption level would cover the inflation- caused increase in the value of land during the past three decades. In addition, farm land that continues to be used for farm-; ing should not be assessed at the inflation value it would have if it were fully devel­ oped. Farm land is not worth more as farm land just be­ cause it is located near a growing suburb or a shopping center. The Senate will resume ac­ tion on the Tax Reform Act of 1976 w hen it reconvenes on July 19, and I believe there is a strong likelyhood that estate tax relief will be passed at that time. I will do every­ thing I can to see that it is. •"
