S. Savings Bond each month for my son’s college education. Would it be more advantageous from a tax standpoint if i purchased the bonus naming my son and my- I oil as co-ownsrs or naming him sole owner? However, interest on 'bonds pur chased toy a parent naming his child as co-owner is taxable to the I'arent. For more informa tion, see ^IRS publication 576, “Tax Information o n United States Savings Bonds. Contact your local Internal Revenue office ior a tree copy.

Savings Bonds bought in the name of the child is income to the child not the parent. This is even if the parent paid for the and is named henefidarv. A.—Fees you pay a broker to collect your bond interest or di vidends on shares of stock are deductible as miscellaneous de ductions. 'But brokerage fees paid to acquire investment property, such as stocks or bon Is, are not the cost of the propei li,-.

Q.—I work IS a w-iitrcss in a restaurant. Occasionally, a group of customers will use our ban quet room for a private party. In stead of tipping, customers are required to pay a service charge which is split among the waiters, waitresses and other employees. A. Generalliy, you may not claim a person as a dependent if he had gross income of $730 or more during the year. The only c.-<cc itions to this rule occur if your child is less than 19 at the end of the year or a full time student during five months of the year .In your son’s case, he is over 19 and is not considered a full time student because he is attending night school and is em ployed lull time during the 'Jay.
