Pag* 10B-UNG8 MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thunday. lanuary 7. 1982 You Must Write In Speedometer Reading RaUigh-Effective January 1, it becomes mandatory to write-in the accurate odometer reading on all N.C. vehicle title applica tions at the time of transfer. In a concerted effort to work with the public on the new rul ing, Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) officials designated December as a trial and error month for those vehicles owners applying for titles in December. In a random .sampling of odometer compliance ratios done by DMV statisticians in December, approximately 72% of those applying for titles in December listed the odometer readings on the form. J.M. “Bill” Penny commented that this figure represented a fair percen tage of voluntary compliance. “If the odometer reading is listed in the space provided on the application, then we can pro cess the application in a more prompt, efficient manner,” con tinued Bill Penny. “After all, we are here at assist the public in the buying and selling of vehicles, and this simple procedure of writing in the odometer reading will assure everyone of a high success rate in the processing and delivery of titles,” remarked Penny. The inclusion of odometer readings on title and application forms is designed to protect the consumer from individuals and automobile dealers who take un fair advantage of purchasers by altering odometer readings, ac cording to Penny.

As a result of action taken by the N.C. General Assembly, parents of children 15 and under can be declared as dependent for tax purposes, can claim up to $2,000 per child or up to a maximum of $4,000 per tax payer per year. In order to be eligible, the child care expenses must be in curred only in order to allow the parent to work. This means that in a two-parent household, either both parents must work full time to claim this exemption or one parent has to be physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself. Parents who are full-time students and who were enrolled for five calendar months of the taxable year are also eligible for the deduction. The deduction works as follows: for each qualifying dependent, add up the amount paid for child care expenses dur ing the tax year. If seven percent of the total is less than $2,000, the full seven percent is a tax credit. If seven fiercent of the tottd is equal to or more than $2,000, you can claim $2,000. Compute the credit for each of the children you can claim and add these figures together. Add any other employment related expense totals to this figure. If the final total is less than $4,000, you can claim the total. If the amount is $4,000 or over, you can claim $4,000.
