THE OFFICIAL REGULATIONS of the Internal Revenue Bureau
are being eagerly awaited by public employees, who stand to gain
much under the liberalized U.S, income tax law. It should not be
too dificult to anticipate much of what those regulations will contain
that Is of paramount interest to public employees,

Maintenance Freed of Tax .

State employees who live and eat in State institutions at the
instance of the employer, hence do so to suit his convenience at the
expense of their own, will not have to pay an income tax on meals
and lodgings, retroactive to January 1 Jast,

Since during the first half of the present calendar year with-
holding was necessarily, although unjustly, imposed on maintenance,
that part of the withholding will be offset or refunded—offset by
the employee against any additional amount his return may show

A similar benefit applies to pensioners generally, except that others
must be at least 65, The age exception was granted in justice to
pensioners of public employee systems, because such members con-
tributed to the much heavier cost of retiring at an earlier age than
65. On reaching 65, the pensioners of public employee systems, like
all other taxpayers, receive an additional $600 personal exemption.
‘The full $1,200 exemption applies only if the earned Income (primar-
fly salary and wages) does not exceed $900 a year. By adding the
9900 to the $1,200 one finds the combined maximum amount, $2,100,
permitted for enjoyment of the full $1,200 exclusion. If you made
$000 or less, do not even report the first $1,200 of retirement allow-
ance. If you made more than $900, reduce the $1,200 by one cent
for every cent earned above $900, to determine the amount of allow-
able exclusion. Thus at $3,000 total ($2,100 plus $900), the benefit
ecases for those under 65. At 65 or over the additional $600 age
exemption makes the maximum exempt Ogure $3,600. If you are}!
under 65 during the entire tax year, and earned $1,600, that would
be $700 above the allowable $900. The $1,200 must be reduced by Arnold, Rechester 7

Back-Raise Checks Issued,
Average Under $100 Each;
Some Dissatisfaction

ALBANY, Oct, 4—Coniptrolier
J. Raymond McGovern said that
all except 5 per cent of employees
entitled to lum-sum pay adjust-
ments have received their checks.
The date set for issuance of the
checks was October 1, The checks
cover amounts due for the past
six months to employees whose
salaries were raised, retroactive to
April 1, under the State's new
pay plan.

‘The remaining checks await de-
cisions on technical and legal
Questions.

The regular salary checks of
October 1 did not reflect the new
salary rates, Higher salaries will
not show up until the October 15
checks, which will cover the first

half of October, the first period
for which the new rates will be
paid.

The total amount of checks re~-
ceived by 82,000 employees is esti-
mated at $8,000,000, or a little less
than $100 average. The total cost
of the pay raises could therefore
be approximated and the figure
arrived at was $17,000,000. The
Legistature appropriated $13,200,-
000, but that was for employees
paid from the general fund. Other
employees, as in the Insurance
and Banking Departments, are
paid from other funds.

* The possible range of raises was
to $486, but only small per-
centage of employees got more
than $250, and many, because
their fobs were downgraded, got
nothing. Present incumbents of

Appeal Seeks Court Order
For Refund of Income Ta:

Paid on State

ALBANY, Oct. 4 — In a brief
filed with the U.S, Court of Ap-
penis, Second Circuit, four New
York plaintiffs argue that the
District Court erred in upholding
the taxation of meals and lodging
supplied to State institution em-
Ployees by the Stute for the
State's own convenience,

Reversal is sought on the
ground that the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue exceeded his
authority and defiled long-stand-
ing law when he ruled that, from
1949 on, employees working in
State institutions would have to
pay tax on the value of food and
lodging, though they lived and ate
on the employer's premises for his
convenience to perform their du-
ties, In some instances they had
to be on duty or call ail the time.

The question is whether meals

and lodging constitute compensa-|

tion which would be taxable, or
are furnished as ® necessary in-
cident to their employment.

The word “compensation” has
the menning as found in the ap-
plication of the Internal Revenue
Code, and deals with payment for
services. Under a State law, in
forme instances, the value of food
and lodging is stated, and called,
by the State, compensation. Upon
the resolution of this term in re-

gard to the two separate laws the |

ecase largely hinges. The fact the
employees could not escape living
in the employer's quarters and
eating m he furnished ix etted
as one fact showing that the
Malutenance was not compensa-
ton.

1949 Reversal

trist at Willard State Hospital,

Prior to 1949
Paid no tax on muintenance, The
Commissioner of Internal Reve-
Rue reversed himself, by aban-
doning observance of the thirty-
five-year-old Jaw and regulation
that maintenance that served the
convenience of the employer ex-
eluded the value therof from taxa-
3.

Only this year the Internal
Revenue Code was amended, so
that retroactive to January 1,
1954, such maintenance is not tax-
able.

‘The plaintiffs fled timely 1949
returns, paying the tax on main-
tenance pending appeal for re-
cission, and demanded 4 refund.
‘The effect of the present appeal
Would be applicable to others
similarly situated, and could cover
years from 1949 to 1953, inchis-
Ive, for if the Commissioner's
eelf-reversal was illegal, the taxes

degaliy.

the school,

In attempting to justify the
reversal of the thirty-five-year-
old exemption of such mainten-
ance from U.S, income taxation,
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue said the rule of exemp-
tion, if the maintenance was for
the convenience of the employer,
was only an administrative one, to
enable the Bureau to resolve any
doubt. This was an entirely new
concept.

“In other words,” says the em-
ployees’ brief, “in place of having
the nature of the employees’ du-
tles control tuxmbility, it (the
jruling) substituted the form of
the employment contract,”

The so-called contract is what)
some law or regulation of the
State would provide, In the phy-
sicinn’s case it was a statute that
requires him to be on the prem-
| ives at all times, and called the
matntenance compensation. The
| tenor of the brief is that neither
the employer nor the employee
may determine taxability, but the
Internal Revenue Inw, and deci-
sions under it, and that the Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue
usurped the legisiative function,
by attempting to change estab-
lished law through @ Bureau rul-
ing, Nevertheless this ruling was
adopted by the court below and
by two recent decisions of the Tax
Court.

New Law Crystal Clear

How sharply Congress disagreed
with the attempted reversal is
emphasized tn the brief, Eyen if
a State describes the value of
meals and lodging as compensa-
tion, “the employee would never-
theless be entitled to exclude the
value of such meals and lodgings
from gross income,” the Senate
Pinance Committee report makes
| clear. In other words, the idea of
serving the convenience of the
employer is controled by Fed-
eral jaw, and the well-established
jegal policy of the nation, and
Federal law can not be amended

Bureau's reversal is upheld.

Exams Should Satisfy
The Losers, Too

OU can't blame a candidate if he gets tripped up in
written test just because he did not know the an-
swer to one pesky question, It's not enough to say he
should have done better overall, so that one question
answered wrong would not make that much difference.

Far-fetched questions do crop up in exams for public
jobs, particularly in NYC, less so in State tests, even more
rarely in Federal exams. Candidates become embittered
toward civil service when they are washed out of a test
just because they did not know the answer to a question
that never should have been asked. Knowing some remote
fact, or the definition of an unusual word, where neither
fact nor word is closely related to the job for which the
test is held, should not be required.

We recall a test for radio announcer held by NYC.
An outraged candidate who failed because he did not
know the definition of the word “potsherd” asked us if
we knew the meaning. He was intelligent and not the
bad-loser type. It so happened we knew the definition,
but had he asked two weeks earlier, the answer would
have been No. Meanwhile, it so happened, we had been
reading up on the culture of the Mohawk tribe, particu-
larly regarding artifacts that came to light at Auriesville
and vicinity. Naturally there was considerable material
about fragments of pottery at the Indian villages along
the Mohawk River. Potsherds, these evidences are called.
The candidate did not know how he could rectify his
plight and neither did we. We doubt whether potsherds
figured in any announcing over WNYC prior or since.

Now, as NYC finds recruitment difficult in many
fields, and is easing some requirements, it should take
extra care that questions asked do not run far afield, nor
strike candidates, particularly those who narrowly missed
passing, as indefensible.

Some improvement has been made. The second pre-
ceding NYC patrolman exam, impossibly difficult, was
succeeded by a more likely one, while the latest test, in
which the eligible list has just been issued, filled the bill
Bicely.

On the other hand, a Supreme Court judge found a
Nassau County police sergeant exam so preposterous that
he felt compelled to apply the rare determinant “arbitrary
and capricious’ to knock out certain questions.

Exams should be such that even candidates who fail

will feel the fault lay not with the exam but with them-
selves,

Legislative Aides
Handed a Mickey

TRANGE are the ways of politicians.

By what incredible legerdemain of illogic have the
lative leaders decided to nullify pay raises to em-
ployees of the Legislature and the Judiciary?

The Legislature this year enacted, unanimously, leg-
islation providing such pay increases, and appropriating
$150,000 for the purpose. The number of employees in-
volved is small, and the percentage of increase that this
sum would permit is certainly not munificent.

Yet the leaders, on their own, in secret meeting, and
without any formal announcement, take it upon them-
selves to cancel the authorization!

The leaders have acted unwisely, They should re-
consider at once. They may well find themselves faced
with court action on an issue that could become explosive.

And in an election year, too!

the Beeches, Rome, N. Y,, on Sat-
urday, September 25. Raymond G.
Castle, Conference vice-president
and chairman of the State Educa-
tion Committee, acted as Chair-
man and discussion leader.

The session was planned by
Conference officers, in cooperation
with the State Education Commit-
tee, to provide a forum for chap-
ter presidents to consider mutual
problems, exchange ideas on suc-
cessful chapter operation, and un-
cover elements of strength and
weakness of chapter operation in
relation to members, the Confer-
ence and the State Association.

Ideas Discunsed

Among the ideas discussed were
chapter operation; methods of
keeping chapter members inform-
ed about all aspects of chapter
and Civil Service functions; the
planning of interesting and suc-
cessful meetings; purposeful com~-
mittee operation; chapter bulle-
tins; training for Chapter Om~
cers; effective use of the Civil
Service LEADER; closer co-oper-
ation with the Conference and the
State Association.

In opening the session Chatr-
man Castle stated that this first
meeting was intended to be ex-
ploratory in nature and designed
to obtain the broad participation
of all chapter presidents, so that
the main problems of chapter op-
eration and functioning could be
uncovered. With basic facts on
which to operate, the Conference
and the State Education Commit-
tee could then bring their best
minds to work on situations that
need attention, provide assistance
ia Club operation where needed
and then make practical planning
available to all Chapter officers.
Tt was clearly evident that all
participants had many ideas on
good and poor Chapter practices

The discussion was lively, infor-'

mative and stimulating,

in particular for taking positive
action, Past Conference President
Helen Musto also took part in the
Meeting, indicating methods of
chapter committee-operation that
would tie in with Conference and
State Association programs, By
enthusiastle npplause the entire
group showed its enjoyment of
the session,

Another Conference Planned

The splendid reception given to
this part of the Conference moet-
ing will encourage 4 similar meet-
ing with a planned agenda and
selected discussion topics ot the
Conference mid-winter meeting in
Syracuse on Saturday February 5,
1955,

Chairman Castle said the ses-
sion set a precedent in the Cen-
tral Conference and it is hoped
that similar meetings can be ar-
ranged for other Conferences.

Leadership Development

He also disclosed a second pro-
ject of the State Education Com-
mittee will be conducted at the
Associntion meeting in Albany in
October. Presidents of various
chapters from the Rochester,
Syracuse, Utica and Albany areas
will meet with the State Educa~
tion Committee to discuss the
broader aspects of leadership, Fif-
teen chapter presidents from the
four sections representing three
conference areas will consider
leadership development and sug-
west methods of meeting the ex-

nding leadership needs of the
last growing Civil Service Bm~
ployees Association.

Legislature; Protest Made

Of Judiciary,

ALBANY, Oct, 4——Bmployees
of the Legisiature and the Judi-
clary have not recel may in-
lerennes ax of October 1, and the
| matter is considered in a most
serious Hight by the employee rep-
rexentatives, The Civil Service
Employees Association has sent
ja sharp letter to the legislative
leaders, reminding them that a
bill Was passed granting pay raises
to these employees, and appropri-
ating money for the purpose, The
letter, signed by CSEA President
|Join FP, Powers, follows:
| “The members of our Asvsocia-
tion employed in the Judiciary
and in the Lepialature have been
greatly disturbed by reports that
the legisiative leaders at on in-

lany pay increases thiy year, There
has been no official announcement
of such action by the leaders of
| the Legislature and if such a de-

.| cision has been made IT strongly

Urge that It be reconsidered,
Money Appropriate

“The Legisiature, this year, en-
acted legislation which provided
for a salary increase for all other
State employeos which averaged
| around 614%. The Legislature also
pressed two bills appropriating a
total of $150,000 for salary in-
creases for entployees of the Judi-
ciary and the Legislature averag-
|ing approximately 3%. Conse-
quently, the Increase authorized
for legistative and judicial em-
| ployees was small enough at best
}and it is inconceivable that this
increase would now be withheld
by a private decision of legislative
leaders:

“Alter all, this increase was au-
thorived by « bill passed wnani-
mousty in both houses of Legis-
lature and sipned by the Gover-

nor, We cannot understand how
legisiative leaders take it upon
themselves to repeal or nullify a
salary increase bill that has been
authorized by all the members of
the Legisisture and the Governor
as well. I am informed that the
Court of Appeals has heretofore
beld that such an exercise of ad-
ministrative power by legislative
leaders is potently unconstitu-
tional. (People v. Tremaine, 252
N.Y, 27),

| “Under the terms of the Jaw this
Increase Was directed to be paid
commencing October 1, 1964. The
employees of the Legislature and

titled to the modest increase pro-

have taken so that immiedial

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

‘Looking Inside

(Continued from Page 2)

‘me, between the amount of the total retirement allowance and the
Jesser amount on which he paid tax. Year after year he added this
difference, and when the sum equalled his annuity cost, the benefit
eeased. This stoppage took place fast, usually within two or three
years,

The benefit was all right while it insted but it did not Jast
Jong enough, nor was there any sound reason for the sudden ces-
sation. If 3 percent represented interest on his money, there was no
good reason for the benefit to stop at all, since part of his retirement
allowance continued to represent interest on his annuity account.
A reappraisal of the whole U.S, income tax structure required a
better basis of benefit to contributors toward their own allowances,
‘This Congress accomplished by dividing the total annuity account
into the number of years of life expectancy following retirement, and
allowing that quotient to be deducted during each of the remaining
years of one's life, If one lived beyond the life expectancy period, the
benefit would still continue. That is in the new law, The Secretary
ef the Treasury is directed to prepare life expectancy tables. These
should appear in the regulations of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
which is a branch of the Treasury Department, as well as in the
booklets supplied later to all taxpayers.

If you are # pensioner of a public employee system, your retire-
ment income is $2,400 « year, and with « life expectancy, say, of 12
years, you would have s $200-a-year benefit for the remainder of
your life.

Joint and survivorship annuities pose a problem that the regu-
Aations no doubt will solve.

Order of Applicability

‘The $1,200 exemption would be applied first, to the extent per-
mitted, and the life expectancy benefit superimposed upon it, prov-
vided any amount is left for “untaxing”. If the retirement allowance
fs small enough, $1,200 would free al) of it from tax and the life
expectancy benefit could not be applied, However, if the added in-
@ome reduces the benefit sulficiently below $1,200 to let the life
expectancy benefit operate, the dual benefit would be realized, as
% would be in all instances of retirement allowance large enough
and added income small enough,

Not in all instances will the new law regarding life expectancy
benefit apply to those retired on or before January 1, 1054. If during
the first three years of retirement the total pension income exceeds
the cost of the retirement allowance to the taxpayer, the old 3
percent rule continues to apply, and not the more liberal life-ex-
pectancy benefit rule, Puture pensioners will fare the same way if
the principal is “recovered” within three years after retirement

General Benefits

Among the benefits not exclusively applicable to public employees
are some of importance,

Under the old law, health payments or refunds received under
@ formal sickness-accident plan were freed from tax. Blue Cross,
Blue Shield, Health Insurance Plan, and Civil Service Employees
Association’s group life and group sickness-accident plans, were
@mong those that came under the beneficial rules, and still do,

Sick Leave Pay Exempt

Employers do continue to pay employees money equalling the
mount of their pay when workers are away from work because of
sickness or accident, Under the old law, this was income to the em-
ployee, as the word income is used im the tax lew, hence taxable.
‘The question arises whether the new law does pot repeal that harsh
distinction and render such receipts tax-free,

The new law does render such payments tax-free to the em-
ployee, Thus many public employees who were away from work,
and were paid by the employer while away, during any part of the
Bret eight months of this year, as well as those so treated in the last
four months of 1954, will be able to write off from their taxable
Mcome « considerable amount, When they got paid while away they
thought they would have to pay # tax on the amount, but now find
they do not. This is a second instance of possible back benefits, for
past months this time, instead of past years. Thus the W-2 forms the
employer supplies after January 1, 1955 may give figures for 1054
‘that exceed the taxable income, and will have to be watched with
extreme care this time and henceforth by the employee for his ewn
benefit.

If an employer pays in full the cost of sickness or accident in-
@urance, and the premium amounts were not included in gross income
ef the employee, any sickness or accident benefits derived are tax-
ble to the employee under the law recently passed, as they
were under the old one. There are some exceptions, Refunds

the employee himself, or his wife or dependents, are tax-free, but
only up the actual amounts expended by the employee. Payments
by the employer to the employee, for sickness or injury, unrelated
to any specific time period, as for loss of a finger, or for permanent
disfigurement, or based on some other nature of the injury, but not
on the duration of absence, remain not taxabie,

Wage Continuation Plans
Now we come to wage continuation plans, These are related to
the specific period of absence from work because of iliness or injury.

and employee. The stress on formality has been eliminated. What
may be free from tax is now on a much broader basis. Now if
amounts paid by the employer to the employee “constitute wages or
Payments in lieu of wages for a period during which the employee
is absent from work on account of personal injuries or sicknes
the amounts are excluded from income, 1.c,, tax-free. Here are the
limitations:

1, Exclusion from gross income not to exceed $100 a week,

2. In case of absence from work because of sickness (as disting-
ulshed from accident or Injury), the first seven calendar days do
not count as such, unless the employee is hospitalized for at leas
one day, which day may occur at any time during the period of
absence from work, not necessarily during the first seven days.

Note that in case of accident or injury, no seven-day exclusion,
nor necessity for hospitalization for one day, is required.

From the text of the law, that there shall be excluded from
income “wages or payments in lieu of wages,” it appears to me
that the regulations will elucidate this particular subject, especially
as it Is entirely new,

When an employer sees fit, of his own accord, to pay an employee
an amount equal to his wages, although not required to pay a cent,
because the employee performed no work, hence earned no wages,
it i consistent to free the amount from tax as a gift. The law has
Jong exempted gifts from taxation, No forma] plan, no agreement,
ne contract, and no insurance in necessary.

How much stronger is the case of the public employee into whore |
contract of employment is written by Jaw provisions for sick leaves
of definite but ordinarily limited duration, a law that the employer
imposed on himself; moreover, larger than ordinarily maximum
periods are made permissible by law within the discretion of a
department head. Thus would many employees, away fll or because
of injuries, early in this year, even before the law was enacted, be
entitled to @ refund of withholding on amounts received during the
period of absence, @ third instance of back payments; and of course
the same benefit would apply for the remainder of the year, and in
the future.

Other Provisions

A quick glance at other improvements in the new law:
Formerly medical expenses were deductible to the extent that
they exceed 5 percent of adjusted gross income; the new figure ts
2 percent.

Foster children not adopted, and others not related to the
taxpayer, if be pays more than half the cost of their support, become
exemptions as dependents, regardless of the dependent’s age,

If the taxpayer defrays more than half the cost of his ewn
child's, or his adopted child's, support, and the child ix either under
19, or is a full-time student of amy age in an educational institution
for at least five months of the year, there is no limit te what the
child may earn, and still remain the parent's exemption. Formerly
the Heit was $600.

A widow or widower supporting one or more children of the
children, may split income, as in the joint
wife, whereby the lower tax rate of half

years immediately following the death of the spouse.

Dividends may be excluded from income, up to $50, plus 2 percent
1054 tax credit, and 4 percent thereafter, but this can have little
interest to most public employees.
