Pay CUt Now Can Blunt Tax Bite
By CARLTON SMITH
Warniilgs have been issue&lt;t- previously about the
low blow to the pocke~book
that many taxpayers w~ ~x­
perience, with excruciating
pain for a lot of them, come
next April. Reports from
corporate payroll offices indicate that, so far., not muc!t
has been done to soften the
blow. So-orice more the ad. monishing finger is wagged.
What is going to happen,
unless something is done
soon by millions of employes is a great outcry of anguish next April15 when taxpayers are forced to fork
over extra cas~large sums
of it, in many cases. ~he
withholding schedule~ be!-Dg
used this year aren t Withholding enough.
Prime candidates for the
tax squash ate fanillies in
which both husband and wife
are wage earners. Salaried
employes w i t h earnings
above $12,000 are also liable
to get clouted.
As briefly as possible,
here's what happened: The
· · Tax Reform Act that became law last year provides
for step-up increases in the
standard deduction, eventually reaching 15 per c~nt of
income, up to a manmum
$2,000, in 19~. For the current tax year 1t' s 13 per cent,
maximum $1,500.
The withholding schedules
supplied to employers are
based on deductions of 13
per cent. But if a working
man and wife use the standard deduction, they're limited to the $1,500 maximumonly one for the two of them,
on a joint return.
Harry earns $10,000 an4
his wife, Wilma, e a r n s
$6,500. Each is using only
one exemption for withholding purposes which ordinarily
should result in enough being w i t h he I d from pay to
cover their tax bill. But because of that 13 per cent figure, their combined withholdings will amount to about
$2,200. The tax they'll actually have to pay will be about
$2 ~leaving t h em short
$400 that has to be raised
somewhere.
There's the same problem
for single taxpayers earning
more than $11,538. W i t h
earnings of $14,500, a deduction of $1,885 is assumed. If
the taxpayer uses the maximum standard deduction of
$1,500, he'll be underwithheld by about $100.
The IRS estimates that as
many as :?A&gt; million taxpayers may find withholding insufficient n e x t April. All
working couples probably
come in this category.
You can determine whether you're going to be short
by looking at paycheck stubs
anu figuring what your withheld tax will amount to over
the year. Then estimate your
tax bill, if you're going to
use the standard deduction,
by subtracting from your
gross income (total pay) L~
per cent of the amount, but
not more than $1,500. From
that result, subtract $1150 for

accountant. The jungle of
tax rules being what it is,
it's an odds-on bet he'll save
you money.
If your calculations indicate your withholdings won't
cover your tax next April,
figurc, out how much extra
is needed each pay period
and tell the payroll office
you want your withholding
increased by that amount.
There's nothing to prevent
your doing this. Payroll departments aren't required to
follow the official withholding schedules-but they will
unless an employe takes the
initiative and says he wants
extra amounts withheld.
Taking a cut in take-home
pay isn't appealing but it
beats finding yourself on the
hook for a large bundle next

accountant. The jungle of
tax rules being what it is,
it's an odds-on bet he'll save
you money.
If your calculations indicate your withholdings won't
cover your tax next April,
figurc, out how much extra
is needed each pay period
and tell the payroll office
you want your withholding
increased by that amount.
There's nothing to prevent
your doing this. Payroll departments aren't required to
follow the official withholding schedules-but they will
unless an employe takes the
initiative and says he wants
extra amounts withheld.
Taking a cut in take-home
pay isn't appealing but it
beats finding yourself on the
hook for a large bundle next

Note of Caution
·For Rose Lovers
Rose lovers have had a
fruitful year so far with their
rose gardens.
With this bountiful production, cuttings for use inside the
home ha~, no doubt, been
plen liful. With this comes a note
of caution. When cutting roses,
keep the future growth and
production of the plant in mind.
On small undeveloped plants,
cut stems short enough to allow
plants to continue development
Even when plants are well
established, cut stems only as
long as needed. Leave at least

two leaves between the cut and
the main stem.
Hybrid tea roses usually have
three leaflets at the top of the
rose stem. Below, you'll find a
spray of five leaflets, if the stem
is weak, make the cut above the
topmost spray of five leaflets. If
the stem is thick (as a pencil),
you can cut above a three leaflet
spray.
CUt roses, left on the plant.
when they have passed their
peak. Always use sharp tools to
cut stems. Never break or twist
them off.

ANTHILLS IN LAWN
· Ants build nests in the ground
and usually form mounds
around the openings. These
anthills may smother the grass
under them as well as destroy
the grass roots in the immediate

area of the anthill.

Use Chlordane or Diazinon to
control these pests. Use as
instructed on the container.
These insecticides should
