Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal Taxes on Income and Profits: Imposed by the Revenue Act of 1918 The statute imposes an income tax upon individuals, including a normal tax and a surtax. The tax is upon net income, after deducting from gross income, the allowable deductions. Normal Tax. - For the calendar year 1919 and subsequent years the normal tax on individual citizens or residents of the United States is 4 per centum upon the first $4,000 in excess of allowable deductions and credits and 8 per centum upon the excess over that amount. The lower rate on the first $4,000 applies to each separate individual, whether married or unmarried, and should not be confused with the joint exemption granted married persons. In the case of a nonresident alien individual the entire net income from sources within the United States, less any allowable deductions and credits, is subject to the normal tax at the rate of 8 per centum for 1919 and subsequent years. Surtax. - In addition to the normal tax, a surtax is imposed upon the net income of every individual, resident or nonresident in excess of $5,000. In determining the taxable net income for the purpose of the surtax the credits provided by Section 216 of the statute are not applicable. The chart on page 2 shows the rates of normal tax and surtax and the total tax on citizens and residents of the United States on net incomes of specified amounts. The surtax for any amount of net income not shown in the chart is computed by adding to the total surtax for the largest amount shown which is less than the income, the surtax upon the excess over that amount at the rate indicated in the table.
