Earnings of dependent children must be included as part of the income of the head of the family. If an unmarried person supports either partially or wholly, a parent or some other relative or friend, not living in the same household, this person is not considered the head of a famil and is therefore entitled only to the $1,000 exemption.

If, because of the special exemptions for children and dependents or because of the exemption of soldier's and sailor's pay, an unmarried person's income of more than $1,000 or a married person's income of more than $2,000 is found not to be taxable, this condition does not free the individual from filing a return. Thus many persons who do not have' to pay a tax must file returns. A head of a family is descried officially as a "person who supports one or more persons closelv connected with inheritances (income from gifts taxable, however); interest on bonds of anv state, county or municipality; interest on farm loan bonds; interest on $5,000 or less of Liberty Bonds, and on larger amounts in certain cases provided by the bond act; payments on account of accident or health insurance or under workman 's Compensation acts. To detect inaccuracies or fraud in returns, the internal revenue bureau has instituted a system of checking returns with other reports required from all persons or interests which paid out $1,000 or more to any individual during the year.
