Histadrut Attains
20 Pet. of Goal
TIMELY TALKS
ON TAXES
ELEMENTS OF INCOME (Continued)
ANNUITIES AND PENSIONS: Pensions or annuities may be
divided into two classes depending upon how .they were acquired;
each receiving different tax treatment. Pension funds to which the
taxpayer has made no contributions are fully taxable as income
whenever received. The amounts so received during 1946 should be
entered only on Form 1040, Page 2, Schedule A,
line 6.
Where you contributed part or all of the cost,
either through deductions from salaries or other-
wise, then only 3 percent of your total contribu-
tions is considered taxable income. The balance
of the payments received during the year is tax
free and is not to be included in income until the
total of such tax free receipts is equal to your total
contributions. Thereafter all payments received each
year are taxable in full.
To illustrate, assume that during 1946 you re-
ceived $1,200 from a pension or annuity towards
Mr. Bizer
which you had contributed $12,000 and that you
also received a like amount in 1945 when you began receiving
sion payments. These facts would be reported as follows:
More than 20 percent of the
goal of $175,000 in the Detroit
Histadrut (Geverlishaften) cam-
paign has already been achieved,
it was announced by Nathan Lin-
den, financial secretary, at a rally
of workers Thursday.
The guest speaker at the work-
ers' rally Thursday, Jan. 23, in the
Rose Sittig Cohen Auditorium, will
be Rabbi Samuel Wohl of Cincin-
nati, rabbi of the historic Isaac
M. Wise Temple.
LOOK TO PALESTINE
Joseph Leschinsky, research sci-
entist, reported at last week's ral-
ly that the once flourishing Jew-
ish communities of Poland were
so devastated that there was no
hope of rebuilding them.

If you received an annuity as a gift or as the surv'vor of an
annuitant who died, you must treat the payments received in the
SEAM manner as if you had paid for the annuity. However, employers'
contributions to a pension fund are not to be treated as gifts and
must not oe included as part of the cost of the pension.
Benefits received under the Federal Social Security Act or similar
funds are entirely tax free and need not be reported in your return.
• • •
RENTS AND ROYALTIES: Losses as well as income from rental
property should be reported in your return. Against rentals received
deductions may be taken for depreciation (on the cost of the build-
ing and building improvement but not on the Cost of the land), re-
pairs and other expenses such as caretaker's salaries, city and county
taxes, interest on land contracts or mortgages, management fees,
decorating, insurance premiums, etc.
Only such repairs that do not materially add to the value or
prolong the life of the property may be deducted as expense; ex-
penditures not deductible as expenses should be added to the cost of
the property and depreciated.
Generally depreciation on and expenses of maintaining your per-
Banal residence are not deductible. Taxes and interest paid on your
personal residence may be deducted elsewhere on your return and
will be explained later.
Space is provided in the form of supporting schedules on page 2
of the return to explain the deductions for depreciation, repairs and
expenses and I am illustrating their use below:
