Short Form
Article No. 5 The North Carolina
Last -year almost 350,000 North
Carolina income taxpayers used the
short form income tax return, ac
cording to the North Carolina De
partment of Revenue.
The short form was authorized by
the 1963 State Legislature and al
lows you to claim a deduction equal
to 10 per cent of your total gross
uiuc instead of itemizing your
contributions, medioal expenses, in
terest, taxes, etc. If you use the
short form, you will not be entitled
to any other deductions including
i.ie deduction for non-taxable divi
dends.. The North Carolina short form is
generally equivalent for salaried in
dividuals to the Federal form 1040A
because of the standard deduction
Involved. Salary, dividends or ia
terest income in excess of $5,000
can be reported, however, on the
North Carolina short form while
the Federal long form is required
when the salary income exceeds
$5,000 or other income exceeds $100.
On the North Carolina short form
the standard deduction is limited
to a maximum of $500.
Unliv Federal form 1040A, remit
tance for the tax due must be sent
m with the North Carolina short
form in the same way that it would
be sent with the North Carolina
long form.
li both husband and wife are re-
I quired to file North Carolina re
turns, then both must file on the
same type of form. If both are eli
gible to file on the short orm and
one elects the short form, then both
must file short form returns. If one
elects ta file on the l.-ng form, then
eoth must file long form returns.
If you are eligible to file the
short form return, you sh;uld also
cempute your tax on the long form
as well, in order that you may com
pare the forms and choose the one
which results in the greater sav
ings to you. ine comparison is
particularly important if you have
dividends from North Carolina cor
porations, un me leng lorm you
woald be entitled to" a deduction!
for all er a part of these dividend.
Who Must File the Long Form?
If you have income from sources
other than wages, commissions, sa
laries, dividends, and interest, you
The following was written by
Vance A. Perry who is in the local
jail awaiting trial on several char
ges. To pass the time away he be
gan the study of plural words and
asked that we publish it. Here it is:
THIS LANGUAGE OF OURS!
While in the act of reading an
interesting article sometime ago, I
ran into the word, matin, which I
have ben 'running iown' ever
si--e.
I wish somebody would explain
- "ip whv it s that the word, matin,
means 'of or pertaining to or used
,i tne morning, especially the ear
v morning,' ana the word 'mati
nee' means 'an afternoon perform
ance or entertainment.'
For the life of me, I can't see
why adding two E's should make
such a difference in time.
Of course this foregoing pecul
iarity of our language is as noth
ine compared to the devilish va
riety of plurals we have to contend
with. Now there is really something
nobody can fatham. Why, for in
stance couldn't one say, "The mice
ran all over the Rice? If mice is
the plural of mouse then hice should
be the plural of house, shouldn't
it? And the plural of grouse should
be either grouses or grice; but it
isn't either, it's grouse.
Ever have the job of trying to
explain to a child that a number
of sheep and a number of deer are
not deers and sheeps? And if a
whole lot of cowboy's shoes are
boots why shouldn't feet be toots'.
And if you scrub your teeth, why
shouldn't you do your telephoning
from different beeth? Ana if the
plural of goose is geese, the plural
of noose should "be neese. But it
isn't, and to add to the confusion the
plural of moose is moose.
And there are still more oddities
to be reckoned with in the plural
business. The plural of chassis is
chassis, but t:;o prai of oasis is
oases. And then there is this strange
assortment of plurals: dictum, dicta,
opera, oper.i; apex, apices; cherub,
cherubim; alga, algae; cactus, cacti;
j i n n i , jinn; mudame, mesdames; ta
bleau, tableaux; ox, oxen; and man,
men.
How any foreigner can master
crossword solvers and constructor
get plurals mixed occasionally,
this language of ours is beyond me.
The average American including
Didn't knew as much as you thought
eh?
must file the long form. Income
from (1) an individually owned
business, (2) a partnership, (3) rents
(4) the sale of real or personal pro
perty, (5) an annuity or (6) a trust
nr estate must all be reported on
the long form return and deduc
tions must be itemized.
No Joint North - Carolina, Retnrn
Under North Carolina law a hus
band and wife cannot file a joint
return even if they have jointly
earned income. Theii inoime must
be civided and each must file a
separate return.
Non-Resident Use of the Short
Form
A non-resident is not permitted to
use the short form and claim the
standard deduction, as he may not
claim any deductions ether than
those connected with income aris
ing from sources within North Ca
rolina and his allowable personal
exemption. His personal deductions
mugc all be claimed on his return to
hig home state.
Differences in Federal and State In
Nun Tax Law
Summer School for Teachers
Actual cost involved for a teacher
to attend summer school, up to a
maximum of $250, may be deducted
on the Nrth Carolina lneome tax
return although such deduction is
allowed o the Federal return only
if the summer school attendance is
required for eligibility to continue
teaching.
Annuity Income
Income frm a purchased anruitv
to be reported for North Carolina
purposes consists of 3 per cent o.r
the cost of the annuity. The Fed
eral formula is not permitted on the ,
State return. I
Retirement Income
Sale af Personal Kesldenee
At pointed out in an earlier ar
ticle in this series there is a ma
jor difference in Federal and North
Carolina law in handling the profit
from the sale of a personal resid
ence. For State purposes any profit rea
lized on the sale of your personal
residence must be reported as 100
per cent taxable income in the year
of the transaction. Federal law al
low you to reinvest the proceeds
of the sale in another residence
within a specified time without re
porting the gain for Federal taxation.
Reference should be made to the
instructions which are sent with the
North Carolina income tax blanks.
If you doubt the deductibility of ea
item, you may get assistance tram
the local offices of the Department,
usually located in the county court-:
houses, or from th Rvenn TU.
