B I
-. imiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?.
Q- I lost a tree to a snowstorm
we had this January ( 1967).
Can I deduct this on my 1966
return?
A- Casualty losses can be deducted
in the situation you describe
only if the President has
declared die area a disaster area
and your loss stemmed from that
event. Aside from such a special
situation, casualty losses can
only be deducted in the year
they occurred.
Q- I moved and never got my
VV- 2' s from two companies I
worked for last year. What
should I do?
A- Contact your previous employers
and ask them to send
your W- 2 withholding statements
to your present address.
If the W- 2' s don't arrive before
the filing deadline, file
your return without them but
attach a statement explaining
what happened, indicating the
employer's name, address,
amount of wages and income
tax withheld.
Returns can't be processed
if VV- 2' s are missing unless an
explanation of why they have
not been included is provided.
Q- Where can I buy a copy of
" Your Federal Income Tax"?
A- Most local offices of IRS
have copies or you can write the
Superintendent of Documents,
U. S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, D. C. 20402. The cost
is 50 cents.
Q- Are the fees paid to have a
tax return prepared deductible?
A- Yes, they are. Expenses are
deductible the year they are paid
so you may only deduct on your
1966 return what you paid last
year for the preparation of your
1965 return. Fees paid for preparing
1966 returns will be deductible
on your 1967 return.
Q- Are lump sum payments for
Social Security taxable?
A- No. All Social Security
benefits are tax exempt.
Use Schedule A ( Form W- 4)
to apply for these allowances.
This is the first year this provision
of the law on graduated
withholding is applicable.
Q- Our son was married in
December. Does diis mean we
will lost our exemption for him
since he otherwise qualified as
our dependent?
A- As long as your son meets
the other dependency require-.
ments, you do not lose your
exemption for him unless he
files a joint return with his
wife.
Q- Is there any situation where
legal fees would be deductible
when they are for personal rather
than business reasons?
A- Legal fees are generally not
deductible unless they are incurred
as a business expense
or in the production of income.
If you sell a home or other
property, legal fees may be included
as a cost of the sale. The
purchaser may include his legal
fees in the cost basis of die
property.
Q- How do you handle child
support payments for tax purposes?
Are they deductible and
and do you include diem when
figuring out if more dian half
the child's support has been
provided?
A- Child support payments are
not deductible and do not have
to be declared as income by the
recipient. The payments should
be included when determining
which parent is entitled to claim
the child as a dependent.
Q- Do you have to file your 1966
return before you can apply for
additional withholding allowances?
A- Yes. The additional allowances
are based on the lesser
of your actual itemized deductions
for 1966 or your estimate
ol what these deductions will
be this year.

THE WASHINGTON
WATCH
By Congressman
John W. Wydler
1
Conser\ ationists dedicated to
saving ( he Long Island Wetlands
have a once- in- a- lifetime opportunity
to preserve some
precious threatened acres. The
importance of the remaining
acres along the shoreline to any
future Long Island National Wetlands
Park is clear. If possible,
they should not be destroyed.
The County of Nassau owns
about 200 irreplaceable acres
of salt marsh in Seaford. It is
clearly shown on the Coast and
Geodetic map as a part of the
Wetlands. The County plans
to destroy all this to construct
an 18 hole golf course. A part,
at least, should be spared in
the interest of conservation. Instead
of a thin and useless 100-
fodt strip that will be left, 40
to 50 acres should be left to
nourish and protect the ecology
of the area.
I have appealed to County Executive
Nickerson to review the
County proposal for such wanton
destruction. I reminded him
of his recent testimony in Washington
calling on everyone to preserve
and protect the Wetlands.
I assume this includes both him
and the County of Nassau.
If the County Executive considers
a golf course essential
he can still provide for a reasonable
number of acres for conservation.
If those who love the Wetlands
and encourage conservation will
speak up, this battle can be won.
Last year when the Secretary of
the Interior backed a plan to build
dams in the Grand Canyon, I
pointed out that such destruction
was not good conservation and
was inconsistent with his call
to preserve the Long Island Wetlands.
I'ublic awareness caused
the Secretary to change his mind
and his position.
Likewise the County Executive
should respond to a reasonable
request to have the County practice
what it preaches to others—
good conservation on behalf of
future generations.
I cannot believe the County
will insist on this destruction.
Certainly 40 to 50 acres can be
spared and saved.
We should all unite and raise
our voices to protect and keep
the important County land forever
wild.
How can we sit back and watch
a few holes of a golf course replace
this— our priceless heritage--
our precious Wetlands?
