And with recent major advances in medical science and rehabilitation technology, many can be expected to return to work eventually. Some recipients who want to try to work even though still disabled are aided by certain provisions in the law. One allows hill benefits to be paid during a 9-month trial work period. Another allows many impairment-related work expenses to be deducted from earnings.

To be eligible to income average, you must meet two tests. First, you must have been a U.S. citizen or a resident for all of 1981 and the four years prior. Second, you must have provided 50 per cent or more of your own support during the four years prior to 1981. The tax using income averaging is computed on Schedule G. You determine your taxable income for each of the four years prior 1981 and compute 30 per cent of the total. This figure is then subtracted from your income for 1981 and if it exceeds $3,000, you may income average. Income averaging requires considerable arith metic, but if you qualify, it can result in a good tax Page 3-B saving. Detailed in formation is contained in Publication 506, “Income Averaging”, available from the IRS.
