School Attendance
In Haywood Same
As State Average
lla.vwood county has often
been called "North Carolina's
most averaite county," holds true
in the matter of sehool attend
ance. according to the latest of
ficial report for the 1951-52
session.
The perecnlage of absentees
in llavwood and the state aver
age stands at 6.5.
Thr report shows that the
average daily membership in
llaywood is 5.811, while the
average daily attendance is 5,
131. with 380 absences daily.
The ratio of colored absentees
lor Haywood is 4.1, which is far
below the state average of 10
percent for colored.
State's Short Tax Form
Permits 10 Pci. Deduction
"North Carolina taxpayers may I
take a blanket deduction of 10
per cent on 1953 returns if they
are qualified to use the conveni
ent new short form D-400A," State
Revenue Commissioner 'Eugene
Shaw pointed out today.
This new condensed form for
filing state income tax was provid
ed by the 1953 General Assembly.
It may be used only by those tax
payers whose income consists of
salaries, wages, commissions, and
interests or dividends.
If the taxpayer's income wras re
ceived from sources other than
these, he must use the regular
long form, D-400, which has been
in use since the state levy was
made on income back in 1921,
If the taxpayer had sources of
income other than those described
above, and he uses the long form,
he must follow the same pattern
as in years past. Both husband and
wife must qualify for the use of
the short form before either can
file on it; otherwise, both must use
long forms.
Joint returns of husband and
wife may be filed only if their joint
income is derived from the same
source or sources, and such income
cannot be separated.
Some examples of income which
cannot be filed on the short form
include: Income from rentals,
profit from sale of real property,
profit from the sale of stocks and
bonds, annuities, professional oc
cupations, income from ownership
and/or operation of a business or
farm. This is the case even though
the taxpayer may also have income
from salaries or wages which
would otherwise be subject to use
of the short form.
If the long form must be used
the taxpayer is entitled to deduct
all of his professional or business
expenses, and may deduct such
personal expenses as contributions
to religious and charitable organi
zations. certain personal taxes, per
sonal interest charges paid, medi
cal expenses which exceed 5 per
cent of his net income, and other
personal expenses deductible under
the law. "A taxpayer cannot claim
the standard 10 per cent dcduc- .
tion if required to file the long
form." the Commissioner asserted.
Commissioner Shaw commented
on the action of the General As-'
I stmhly in providing for the simpler
j short form:
"It was the intention of this
I legislation to eliminate the neces
sity of non business persons' keep
ing books and records on their in-;
come and allowable deductions. {
and thus make easier the filing of
'their Slate income tax returns.
