Claiming Dependents
Is Taxing Question
(Editor's Note: This is the
thud and final article in a series
J e v o t e d to problems
encountered by taxpayers in
claiming exemptions and
dependents on their federal tax
returns.
It a question remains
unanswered. you aie invited to
send your questions to: Public
Information Officer. Internal
Revenue Service. 320 South
Ashe Street. Greensboro.
North Carolina 27402. who
will reply promptly.)
Your dependent must be a
L nited States citi/en or
resident, or a resident of
Canada. Mexico, tlic Panama
Canal Zone or the Republic of
Panama lor sonic part of the
\ear you claim she deduction.
For I'nited States citizcns
living abroad who legally adopt
a child who is not a'I'nited
States citizen, a dependency
deduction is allowable for the
hiId altei he has lived with the
taxpayers for an entire tax
year.
Foreign students who
maintain a home with Lime J
States citizens under the
Inter national Education
tx change Seivice are not
generally I nited States
residents and may not be
claimed as dependents.
(However, if the student is
below college level, you may
deduct the amount you paid
tor the student's maintainence
in your home as a contributu n
under itemized deductions )
MULTIPLE StPPORT
AGREEMENT
In some cases, no one person
contributes more than one -
half the support of a
dependent, and. under the
general rule ot chief support,
nobody could claim that
person as a dependent.
Tlus inequity was corrected
a lew years ago with the
provision for the Multiple
Support Agreement.
In such cases, if a dependent
receives more than one ? half
lus support from a group.:-e
ot whom furnishes ovet !aii
support, but all furnish ni-jic
than 10 f ot the dependent*
support, any one of the grouts
may claim the deduction
provided the others sign
Multiple Support Agreement
Form stating that they will not
claim the dependent. These
Forms (2021) must "he
attached to the return ot the
taxpayer claiming the
dependent. The forms are
available from an\ IRS of-'ice
THE WAY IT WORks
Example You. your brothei
and your sister each furnished
more than lO'V of youi
mother s support during the
year. The total support all
three of you furnished equalled
60<* of her total support. In
this case, either you. your
brother, or your sister would
be entitled to claim the
mother's exemption provided
the other two agreed, s gned
the Multiple Support
Agreement forms and gave
them to you to attach to vour
return.
CLAIMING A
NON-RELATIVE
Not long ago a person could
not be allowed as a dependent,
regardless of the amount of
support received from the
taxpayer unless he met certain
relationship tests This was
changed a few years ago.
Today, a non ? relative may
qualify as your dependent if ail
the other dependency tests are
met, provided the dependent
was a member of your
household for the entire tax
year.
DIVORCED OR
SEPARATED PARENTS
One of the most vexing
problems confronting tax
auditors has been making a
determination as to which
divorced or separated parent is
entitled <o claim their child or
children as dependents. Some
cases in the past have been
almost impossible to solve
IRS has attempted to
alleviate this problem by
Jetting forth specific guidelines
as to which parent shall be
recognized as the proper
claimant. These rules applv
only if divorced or separated
parents, together, furnish more
than one ? half the child's
support for the calendar year,
and if the child is in his
parents" custody for more than
hall the calendar year.
Example: You have custody
of your child for 10 months of
the year, and your spouse has
the child for the other 2
months. You and your former
husband provide the child's
total support. You are entitled
to claim the child as a
dependent. However, if, under
these conditions, a third party
furnishes over half the chilcTs
support, you may not claim
the child as a dependent.
SPECIAL RULE
The parent not having
custody of the child (or having
it for the lesser period) is
entitled to the dependency
deduction if:
I He contributed at least
$<?>00 towards the child's
support during ;he year, and a
written agreement between the
parties specifies that he is
entitled to the exemption: or,
- He provided at least
Si 200 support for the child (or
children) for the calendar year
and the parent having custody
does not clearly establish that
he provided a greater share of
the child support.
In cases involving the second
exception (above) where the
parent having custody claims
that ^ the exception is not
satisfied or claims to have
furnished greater support, each
parent is entitled to receive an
itemized statement of the
expenditures upon which the
other parent bases his claim of
support.

?i* etteville Social Security Officc
How old docs one have to be
to receive Social Security
benefits? There is stiil
contusion on ihe answer to this
vtuestion.
Both men ifnd women have
the right to receive retirement
benefits as early as age 62.
Only widows ma\ receive
benefits at age 60 In both of
these cases ? retirement
benetits it age 62 or widow's
benefits at age 60 - the
individual must decide to take
a smaller check at these ages or
wait until an older age and get
a larger check. At age 62, both
men and women receive only
80 percent of the amount they
would get if they waited until
they reached age 65. What
should they decide to do? Of
course, the actual decision is
up to the individual, but the
basic statistic to consider is
that a person who decides to
receive his Social Security
retirement check at age 62 is
ahead, money - wise unless he
is certain of living past age 77.
This means if he receives
checks beginning with age 62
and does not live past age 77,
he would receive a total
amount in benefits which
would be larger than the total
amount received if he waited
until age 65 and received full
benefits but did not live past
age 77. The same number of
years applies in the case of a
widow, who at age 60, receives
a reduced benefit as compared
to what she would get if she
waited to age 62 to get the full
widow's benefit. The widow at
age 60 is ahead for the first 15
years ? unless she were certain
of living past age -5, she would
be ahead money ? wise to take
the widow's benefits at age 60
than waiting to age 62.

REMINDER OF SUMMER-WOk McPhaul, who claimed the
earliest ripe watermelons in the county, also boasts of the last
melons of the season. Here he shows a melon that he picked and
cut on Oct. 14.
A small child was teaiing her
mother all afternoon for tome
grapei. At bedtime the
watched her small couain
saying her prayers and asked
for an explanation of these
unfamiliar proceedings. The
mother explained that her
cousin was talking to God,
asking him to bleu her family
and make hae a good girl.
Immediately the child went
into her own room and shut
the door so that she might uy
her prayers. Upon emerging she
said to her mother, "1 talked to
God and he said 1 was a very
good girl? and I could have a
grape.
We can overlook the little
girl's childish attempt to use
God for her purpose, yet at the
same time we must
acknowledge that there are
many of us who are guilty ot
much the same thing. Our own
concept of prayer may not be
much more mature than hers.
Though prayer may be
assumed to be one of the key
resources of the Christian life,
it is also the one which many
have never mastered.
We can understand the
disciples' urgent plea, "Lord,
teach us to pray," for we
ourselves are often in the need
of help and instruction in our
life of prayer. Like his disciples
we can learn much from both
the manner and spirit in which
Jesus prayed.
One thing the disciples must
have learned in time is that
there is no single way to pray.
The prayer life of Jesus was
filled with variety. He prayed
in lonely places apart from the
crowds, he also prayed in
public. He prayed as he knelt,
or walked. He prayed aloud in
words and he prayed silently.
His prayers were both formal
and informal. He prayed

prayers of praise and
thanksgiving and He prayed
prayers of petition. He heard
God's response and there were
timet when there seemed to be
no response. He prayed at t
wedding feast and from the
cross at his own execution. In
Jesua' life prayer was many
different experiences of
communion with God.
It la important that we too,
like the disciples, learn that
there is no one way to pray, no
one reason for praying. There
are times when we pray
spontaneously as a need rises
within us. There are other
times when we pray by sitting
and thinking in quiet. There
are times when we must put
our feelings into words and
there are times when words
will simply not serve our
purposes.
Sometimes we will feel we
need to kneel but there will be
other times when we may offer
up a sentence prayer as we
dash to some daily task.
Sometimes our emphasis will
be on "telling" him, and other
times we will need to sit and
"listen." There are many ways
and means for prayer.
Secondly, we will need to
learn as Jesus' disaples learned
that prayer is not so much a
matter of persuading a
reluctant God to do what we
want him to do, but a matter
of offering ourselves so that he
may do with us as he desires to
do. We will need to know as
Jesus did that God doesn't
have to be nagged into
becoming concerned about our
welfare. He is already
concerned before we are and
much more deeply than we can
ever be.
When Jesus gave his disciples
what we call "The Lord's
Prayer," it was not intended to
be a prayer to be repeated
endlessly, but a model. All the
essential elements of prayer are
found in those simple lines:
adoration, submission,
petition, repentance, and
committment.
Lord, teach us to pray like
that!

FAMILY CAR
Jo* White permits hit
eighteen year old son to use
tfis family car on s date, me
son, while carelessly and
negligently operating the
automobile, injures Sam Black.
May Black recover from Joe
White a judgment for the
personal injuries he has
sustained''
Yes. In North Carolina and a
limited number of other states
there has been adopted what is
known as the "family purpose
doctrine" in respect to
automobiles.
Under this doctrine, the
owner of an automobile, which
is furnished to the members of
the owner's family for their
convenience and pleasure, is
held liable for the negligent
acts of any member of the
family who might be driving it
for pleasure with the conscnt,
express or implied, of such
owner.
The relationslup created is
that of principal and agent,
existing between the owner of
the family automobile and the
member of his family driving
it. By placing the automobile
at the disposal of the family,
the owner makes the pleasure
of the family his affair and
burineaa.
Sam Black should be able to
recover damages from either
Joe White or his son. A minor
child is liable for the personal
injuries he negligently causes
another. The son is liable in
this case because he is the
actual wrongdoer, The father is
liable because it was his agent
that caused the injury.
Bill Brown permits his
eighteen year old son to use
the family car for the purpose
of attending a football game in
Virginia. If the son negligently
injures Tom Grey wihle driving
the automobile in Virginia,
could Tom Grey recover
damages from Bill Brown?
No. Virginia does not have
the "family purpose doctrine"
in respect to automobiles. In
Virginia, the son would be
liable but not the father.
