twinty-Four--THE DAILY MAIL, Hagcrstown, Md. Mondiy, January H4S CMT YOUR OWN TAXES (Firsf Of A Series) Forget All The Old Rules: You Have To Learn New Ones By RAY Da CRANE Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Forget all you learned about Income tax last year. Under no circumstances will you use last year's income tax return as a guide for this year. These two sentences sum up the best advice that can be given as we all prepare to file our annual tax return by April 15 1965.

The new tax act passed by Congress in 1964 includes sweeping changes and varied benefits so that the best thinj to do is to start to learn al! over again. Rates have been reduced across the board of everyone. The tax rate in the lowest bracket reduced from 20 per cent to 16 per cent for rate at the top has been trimmed from 91 per cent to 77 per cent. And in 1965 these rates will be further reduced to 14 per cent at the bottom and 70 per cent at the top. A new Minimum Standard Deduction has been introduced.

This will be a break lor a families with total incomes less than $10,000. Formerly a payer who didn't itemize hi! deductions could take a standard deduction of 10 per cent of his gross income. The new Minimum Standard Deduction gives him still another option. Instead of settling on 10 per deductions he may deduct $200 plus an additional $100 for each exemption. For example, the man with four dependent children will be able to deduct S800 on his joint return instead of the $700 allowed a year ago.

Other revisions in the law provide new rules for reporting the income on stock dividends. For the family with modest stock holdings it probably will mean that all of its dividend income will be tax exempt. Those with substantial stock holdings and retired couples may find Ihcy be paying a higher tax than formerly on dividends. Golden agers were remembered in several instances by the tax law writers. They will find special provisions them on liberalized retirement income credits, new rules for medical expenses and once-in-a-lifetime special tax rules they may follow when they sell their personal resi dence at a substantial profit.

Most of us felt Ihc first bene 'its of the new tax reductions ast March when a smaller bite was taken out of our pa checks for the withholding tax. a taxpayers will learn to their regret when Ihcy lilc thei annual income tax return tha the added take-home pay slarled to receive last Marc! was too generous.
