Appendix EP Toxicity Test
Procedure
[Revised by 46 FR 35247, July 7, 1981]
A. Extraction Procedure (EP)
1. A representative sample of the waste to
be tested (minimum size 100 grams) shall be
obtained using the methods specified in
Appendix I or any other method capable of
yielding a representative sample within the
meaning of Part 260. [For detailed guidance
on conducting the various aspects of the EP
see "Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid
Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods"
(incorporated by reference. see § 260.11).]
2. The sample shall be separated into its
component liquid and solid phases using the
method described in "Separation Procedure"
below. If the solid residue 'obtained using
this method totals less than 0.5% of the
original weight of the waste. the residue can
be discarded and the operator shall treat the
liquid phase as the extract and proceed
immediately to Step 8.
3. The solid material obtained from the
Separation Procedure shall be evaluated for
its particle size. If the solid material has a
surface area per gram of material equal to. or
greater than. 3.1 cm2 or passes through a 9.5
mm (0.375 inch) standard sieve. the operator
shall proceed to Step 4. If the surface area is
smaller or the particle size larger than
specified above, the solid material shall be
prepared for extraction by crushing. cutting
or grinding the material so that it passes
through a 9.5 mm [0.375 inch) sieve or. if the
material is In a single piece, by subjecting the
material to the "Structural Integrity
Procedure" described below.
4. The solid material obtained in Step 3
shall be weighed and placed in an extractor
with 16 times its weight of deionized water.
'1. The percent solids is determined by drying the
filter pad at 60°C until it reaches constant weight
and then calculating the percent solids using the
following equation:
100 % solids (weight of pad + SDHULA -Itare weight of pach K
innial weight of sample
Do not allow the material to dry prior to
weighing. For purposes of this test, an
acceptable extractor is one which will impart
sufficient agitation to the mixture to not only
prevent stratification of the sample and
extraction fluid but also insure that all
sample surfaces are continuously brought
into contact with well mixed extraction fluid.
5. After the solid material and deionized
water are placed in the extractor, the
operator shall begin agitation and measure
the pH of the solution in the extractor. If the
pH is greater than 5.0, the pH of the solution
shall be decreased to 5.0 = 0.2 by adding 0.5
N acetic acid. If the pH is-equal to or less
than 5.0, no acetic acid should be added. The
pH of the solution shall be monitored, as
described below. during the course of the
extraction and if the pH rises above 5.2. 0.5N
acetic acid shall be added to bring the pH
down to 5.0 ± 0.2. However. in no event shall
the aggregrate amount of acid added to the
solution exceed 4 ml of acid per gram of
solid. The mixture shall be agitated for 24
hours and maintained at 20"-40°C (68"-104°F)
during this time. It is recommended that the
operator monitor and adjust the pH during
the course of the extraction with a device
such as the Type 45-A pH Controller
manufactured by Chemtrix. Inc.. Hillsboro,
Oregon 97123 or its equivalent. in conjunction
with a metering pump and reservoir of 0.5N
acetic acid. If such a system is not evailable,
the following manual procedure shall be
employed:
(a) A pH meter shall be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications.
(b) The pH of the solution shall be checked
and, if necessary. 0.5N acetic acid shall be
manually added to the extractor until the pH
reaches 5.0 ± 0.2. The pH of the solution
shall be adjusted at 15. 30 and 60 minute
intervals. moving to the next longer interval If
the pH does not have to be adjusted more
than 0.5N pH units.
(c) The adjustment procedure shall be
continued for at least 6 hours.
(d) If at the end of the 24-hour extraction
period, the pH of the solution is not below 5.2
and the maximum amount of acid (4 ml per
gram of solids) has not been added. the pH
shall be adjusted to 5.0 = 0.2 and the
extraction continued for an additional four
hours. during which the pH shall be adjusted
at one hour intervals.
6. At the end of the 24 hour extraction
period. deionized water shall be added to the
extractor in an amount determined by the
following equation:
V =
V = ml deionized water to be added
W = weight in grams of solid charged to
extractor
A = ml of 0.5N acetic acid added during
extraction

$270.41 Major modification or revocation
and reissuance of permits.
When the Director receives any
information (for example. inspects the
facility, receives information submitted
by the permittee as required in the
permit (see $ 270.30)). receives a request
for modification or revocation and
reissuance under $124.5, or conducts a
review of the permit file) he or she may
determine whether or not one or more of
the causes listed in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section for modification. or
revocation and reissuance or both exist.
If cause exists, the Director may modify
or revoke and reissue the permit
accordingly, subject to the limitations of
paragraphs (c) of this section, and may
request an updated application if
necessary. When a permit is modified,
only the conditions subject to
modification are reopened. If a permit is
revoked and reissued, the entire permit
is reopened and subject to revision and
the permit is reissued for a new term.
See 40 CFR 124.5(c)(2). If cause does not
exist under this section or 40 CFR 270.42,
the Director shall not modify or revoke
and reissue the permit. If a permit
modification satisfies the criteria in 40
CFR 270.42 for a minor modification. the
permit may be modified without a draft
permit or public review. Otherwise, a
draft permit must be prepared and other
procedures in Part 124 (or procedures of
an approved State program) followed.
(a) Causes for modification. The
following are causes for modification.
but not revocation and reissuance, of
permits; the following may be causes for
revocation and reissuance, as well as
modification. when the permittee
requests or agrees.
(1) Alterations. There are material and
substantial alterations or additions to
the permitted facility or activity which
occurred after permit issuance which
justify the application of permit
conditions that are different or absent in
the existing permit.
(2) Information. The Director has
received information. Permits may be
modified during their terms for this
cause only if the information was not
available at the time of permit issuance
(other than revised regulations,
guidance, or test methods) and would
have justified the application of
different permit conditions at the time of
issuance.
(3) New regulations. The standards or
regulations on which the permit was
based have been changed by
promulgation of amended standards or
regulations or by judicial decision after
the permit was issued. Permils may be
modified during their terms for this
cause only as follows:
(i) For promulgation of amended
standards or regulations. when:
(A) The permit condition requested to
be modified was based on 8
promulgated Parts 260-266 regulation;
and
(B) EPA has revised. withdrawn. or
modified that portion of the regulation
on which the permit condition was
based; and
(C) A permittee requests modification
in accordance with § 124.5 within ninety
(90) days after Federal Register notice of
the action on which the request is based.
(ii) For judicial decisions, a court of
competent jurisdiction has remanded
and stayed EPA promulgated
regulations if the remand and stay
concern that portion of the regulations
on which the permit condition was
based and a request is filed by the
permittee in accordance with $ 124.5
within ninety (90) days of judicial
remand.
(4) Compliance schedules. The
Director determines good cause exists
for modification of a compliance
schedule, such as an act of God. strike,
flood. or materials shortage or other
events over which the permittee has
little or no control and for which there is
no reasonably available remedy.
(5) The Director may also modify a
permit:
(i) When modification of a closure
plan is required under § 264.112(b) or
264.118(b).
(ii) After the Director receives the
notification of expected closure under
$ 264.113. when the Director determines
that extension of the 90 to 180 day
periods under § 264.113, modification of
the 30-year post-closure period under
§ 264.117(a), continuation of security
requirements under $ 264.117(b). or
permission to disturb the integrity of the
containment system under $ 264.117(c)
are unwarranted.
(iii) When the permittee has filed a
request under $ 264.147(c) for a variance
to the level of financial responsibility or
when the Director demonstrates under
§ 264.147(d) that an upward adjustment
of the level of financial responsibility is
required.
[270.41(a)(5)(iii) amended by 48 FR
30113, June 30, 1983]
(iv) When the corrective action
program specified in the permit under
§ 204.100 has not brought the regulated
unit into compliance with the ground.
water protection standard within a
reasonable period of time.
(v) To include a detection monitoring
program meeting the requirements of
$ 264.98. when the owner or operator
has been conducting a compliance
monitoring program under § 264.99 or a
corrective action program under
§ 264.100 and compliance period ends
before the end of the post-closure care
period for the unit.
(vi) When a permit requires a
compliance monitoring program under
§ 264.99, but monitoring data collected
prior to permit issuance indicate that the
facility is exceeding the ground-water
protection standard.
(vii) To include conditions applicable
to units at a facility that were not
previously included in the facility's
permit.
(viii) When a land treatment unit is
not achieving complete treatment of
hazardous constituents under its current
permit conditions.
(b) Causes for modification or
revocation and reissuance. The
following are causes to modify or,
alternatively, revoke and reissue a
permit:
(1) Cause exists for termination ender
§ 270.43, and the Director determines
that modification or revocation and
reissuance is appropriate.
(2) The Director has received
notification (as required in the permit,
see § 270.30(L)(3)) of a proposed transfer
of the permit.
(c) Facility siting. Suitability of the
facility location will not be considered
al the time of permit modification or
revocation and reissuance unless new
information or standards indicate that a
threat to human health or the
environmental exists which was
unknown at the time of permit issuance.
$ 270.42 Minor modifications of permits.
Upon the consent of the permittee. the
Director may modify a permit to make
the corrections or allowances for
changes in the permitted activity listed
in this section, without following the

Introduction
You can get the tax forms and publications
mentioned in this publication by following the
directions in the back of this pamphiet.
A U.S. citizen, by birth or naturalization, who
works as an employee or operates a business in
a possession of the United States may qualify
for the possession exemption.
The possession exemption does not apply to
all taxpayers; and it may not benefit those to
whom It does apply. Even If you quality for the
possession exemption, you do not have to claim
it. You should figure your tax both ways to see
which is better for you.
Aliens and U.S citizens of possessions who
hold their U.S. citizenship under an Organic Act
do not qualify for the exemption. If you are in
either status and work in a possession, you may
ask for tax advice from the Internal Revenue
Service, Foreign Operations District, Attention:
FOD:8, Washington, DC 20225.
This publication discusses the requirements
that you must meet to quality for the possession
exemption. It also provides information about
filing returns with the local tax authorities of
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, each of which has its own independent tax system.
If you need any U.S. income tax forms,
schedules, or publications, you may write directly to the Internal Revenue Service, Foreign
Operations District, Attention:FOD:8, Washington. DC 20225. You may get any necessary possession tax forms at the office given under each
separate possession, discussed later.
Possession Exemption
The possession exemption allows a U.S. citizen to exclude from gross income amounts received from sources outside the United States if
in a 3-year or other applicable period immediately before the end of the tax year certain
qualifications are met. See Qualifications, discussed later.
U.S. citizens who cannot meet the possession-exemption rules but who receive earned
income from sources within U.S. possessions
may qualify for benefits relating to earned income from sources outside the United States if
they are bona fide residents of, or are physically
present for a specified period in, a foreign
country. For these citizens, none of the rules
about income from U.S. possessions applies in
determining their tax liabilities. For information
about the exemption of incline for U.S. citizens
Guide for U.S. Citizens Abroad.
Government and
Military Personnel
Wages, salaries, and other kinds of pay from
the U.S. Government to civilian and military employees are subject to the U.S. federal income
tax. That income may not be treated as exempt
income under the possession-exemption rules
explained in this publication.
If you are a U.S. Government employee in a
possession and you also work for a private employer, the wages received from the private employer are also likely to be subject to the federal
tax because you may be unable to meet the
qualifications, discussed later.
Note. The possession exemption only applies to
individuals and not to corporations.
U.S. Possessions
You may qualify for the possession exemption if you are employed in the following areas:
Midway
Palmyra
Johnston Island
Kingman Reef
Wake Island
Howland Island
Baker Island
Jarvis Island
American Samoa
Other U.S. islands, cays, and reefs that are
not part of any of the 50 states.
The former Panama Canal Zone is no longer
a U.S. possession for tax purposes and U.S.
taxpayers living there are considered to live in
Panama. These individuals are subject to U.S.
tax in the same manner as U.S. taxpayers in
any foreign country. See Publication 54 for
more information.
A military base leased by the United States
from a foreign government is not a possession
of the United States for purposes of the possession exemption.
The possession-exemption rules do not apply
to the Marshall Islands, Palau. and the Federated States of Micronesia. These islands are administered under the trusteeship agreement
between the United States and the Security
Council of the United Nations.
If you are employed in Guam, the Northern
Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto
Rico, you do not qualify for the possession exemption.
Qualifications
Income received during your applicable period (discussed later) will quality for the exemption if you meet the following requirements
during that period:
1) 80% or more of your gross income must be
from sources in a possession, and
2) 50% or more of your gross income must be
from the active conduct of a trade or business within a U.S. possession.
Gross income from a trade or business includes
gross income from the active conduct or operation of a trade or business on your own account. aswell as wages and salaries received
Note. The 80% requirement includes all your
income (including interest, dividends, rent,
etc.), not just wages. salaries, and other kinds
of pay for personal services.
Applicable period. The key factor is that the
percentage rules apply to income received during your applicable period, not during your tax
year. You must know your applicable period to
determine if you quality for exemption of income that you earned in a possession.
Your applicable computation period is the period that you were employed or engaged in
business in a possession before the end of your
tax year. It is also the period that falls within the
3-year period immediately before the end of
your tax year.
The applicable period must be entered on
Form 4563. Exclusion of Income from Sources

in United States Possessions. See Filling Tax
Returns, later, for Information on how to fill out
that form.
The following examples illustrate the applicable periods of taxpayers preparing their 1982
federal Income tax returns.
Example 1. Anna Grey worked in a possession from January 1, 1980, to November 15,
1982. Her applicable period for 1982 is January
1, 1980, to November 15. 1982. The period falls
within the 3-year period immediately before December 31, 1982, which is the end of her 1982
tax year.
Example 2 Bill White started working in a
possession on March 16. 1982. He was still
there on April 1. 1983. when he prepared his
1982 tax return. His applicable period for 1982
is March 16, 1982, to December 31, 1982.
Example 3. Charles Black worked in a possession from July 1, 1971, to February 18, 1983.
His applicable period for 1982 is January 1.
1980. through December 31. 1982.
Example 4. Gloria Brown worked in a possession from January 19, 1982. to October 15.
1982. when she left the possession. Her applicable period for 1982 is January 19, 1982, to
October 15. 1982.
Example 5. Edward Greene started working in
a possession for X Company on March 3, 1981.
He ended that employment on August 27, 1982.
On September 6. 1982, Edward began employment in a possession with Z Company and has
remained with them. Edward's applicable period
for 1982 is March 3, 1981, to August 27, 1982.
and September 6, 1982, to December 31, 1982.
The fact that Edward worked for two different
companies and that he had separate periods of
employment does not affect his eligibility.
Sources of Income. The source of income is
important. For the 80% rule, you must know if
your income is from sources in the United
States, a possession, or a foreign country.
General rules for determining the source of
income are given below. If you cannot clearly
determine the source of your income, you
should write to the Internal Revenue Service,
Foreign Operations District, Attention:FOD:8,
Washington, DC 20225.
Income from sources within a possession includes:
1) Wages, salaries, and other kinds of pay for
personal services performed in a possession. (See the exception, below.)
2) Dividends received from possession
sources, including those paid by:
a) U.S. corporations that do business in a
possession and elect the Puerto Rico and
possession tax credit, and
b) Possession and foreign corporations that
do business mainly in a possession.
3) Interest on deposits paid by banks that do
business mainly in a possession. This includes interest paid on deposits with the
possession branches of:
2 Domestic banks with commercial banking
business in the possession, and
b) Savings and loan associations chartered
under federal or state laws.
4) Gains from the sale of securities, such as
stock certificates, within a possession.
session. The source of such wages, salaries,
etc., is the place where the services were
performed even though payment is made in
the possession. (See the exception, below.)
2) Dividends paid by corporations not doing
business in a possession. Dividends paid by
U.S. corporations doing business mainly In
the United States are from U.S. sources.
Dividends paid by foreign corporations not
doing business mainly In the United States
or In a possession are from sources in foreign countries.
3) Interest paid on deposits with banks that do
not carry on business in a possession. Interest paid on bank deposits in the United
States is interest from U.S. sources.
4) Gains from the sale of securities, such as
stock certificates outside a possession, are
from sources in the country where the sale
takes place.
Income from sources outside a possession
includes:
1) Wages, salaries, and other kinds of pay for
erronal services performed outside a pos-
Exception. For the possession-exemption
rules, the United States is the source of wages,
salaries, etc., paid by the U.S. Government, or
any of its agencies, to U.S. citizens who are its
civilian or military employees.
The following examples illustrate the sources
of income and the 80% and 50% tests. It is assumed that corporations chartered in possessions (possession corporations) do business
only in a possession, and that the U.S. and foreign corporations do not carry on business in a
possession.
Example 1. Frank Brown is an engineer who
went to work on Johnston Island for a private
construction company on August 3. 1982. and
remained there after December 31, 1982.
During his applicable period for 1982 (August
3 through December 31. 1982). he received
wages of $3,300 on Johnston Island. He also received dividends of $400 from U.S. corporations, dividends of $100 from foreign
corporations, and interest of $300 from deposits
in U.S. banks. He meets the 80% requirement.

He also meets the 50% rule because more

discussion under Exempt.income, later.
Example 2. Oliver Green was employed by a
private employer in American Samoa from June
15. 1981, through December 31, 1982. This is
his applicable period for his 1982 tax return.
During the part of 1981 that he worked in
American Samoa he received wages in American Samoa of $7,600, dividends of $400 from
American Samoa corporations, and dividends of
$600 from U.S. corporations. During 1982 he received wages of $16,000. dividends of $2,000
from U.S. corporations, and a capital gain of
$4,000 from the sale of stock in the United
States.

If You Qualify
If you meet both the 80% and 50% tests, you
quality for the possession exemption. However,
all income derived during the applicable period
may not be exempt.
Exempt Income. To quality for the possession
exemption, income that a U.S. citizen derives
during the applicable period must be from
sources outside the United States and must be
received outside the United States. Exempt income includes:
1) Wages received outside the United States
for services performed in possessions, foreign countries, or on the high seas. Wages,
including military salaries, paid by the U.S.
Government or any of its agencies are not
exempt because they are considered to have
a U.S. source.
2) All other kinds of income (dividends, interest. royalties, rents, etc.) from sources out.
side the United States that are received
outside the United States.
Income subject to tax. The following income of
citizens who meet the possession-exemption requirements is taxable:
1) All income received during the part of the
tax year that is not a part of the applicable
period, described earlier, The source of that
income or the place where it Is received has
no effect.
2) All income derived from U.S. sources. This
includes wages for services performed In the
United States, and dividends, Interest. royalties, capital gains, and other income from
U.S sources.

3) All wages. including military salaries, paid to
employees of the U.S. Government or any of
its agencies wherever they are employed.
4) All income from foreign and possession
sources received in the United States.
The following examples show the importance
of where foreign or possession source income
is received.
Example 1. Michael Blue works during the
entire year of 1982 for a private contractor on
Johnston Island. a possession of the United
States. His only income for the year is the
$19,000 he earns on Johnston Island after his
arrival there on January 1. 1982. His applicable
period is January 1. 1982, to December 31,
1982. and he qualifies for the possession exemption during 1982. For his own convenience,
Michael asks his employer to send his paychecks directly to his bank in the United States.
In the United States the checks are credited to
his account. Though he has qualified for the
possession exemption, Michael must treat his
1982 possession source wages of $19,000 as
taxable income, because the paychecks were
received in the United States.
Michael could have treated the $19,000
wages as exempt income if he had asked his
employer to give the paychecks to him on Johnston Island. He would have received the income
in a possession, and it would have qualified as
exempt income.
Note. The Internal Revenue Service has no
objection to any arrangements made for receiving your paycheck in a possession. After receiving your paycheck. it does not matter if you or
your employer actually mails it to a bank in the
United States. The income remains exempt. because you received it in a possession and its
source was outside the United States.
Example 2. George White qualifies for the
possession exemption. He was in the United
States from January 1. 1982, to March 31, 1982,
and was employed in a possession during the
rest of 1982. He did not work for the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. His 1982 income was as follows:
a) Wages earned in United States to 3/31/82
$2,000
b) Dividends from Swiss corporation received

If You Do Not Qualify
If you do not quality for the possession exemption because you have not met the requirements explained earlier, you should figure your
tax liability in the usual manner. in other words,
you should report all your taxable income, including income from foreign and possession
sources. You should claim on your tax return all
allowable exemptions, deductions, and credits,
following the instructions for Form 1040.
You may take a credit against your U.S. tax
liability if you paid income taxes to a foreign
country or a possession and reported income
from sources outside the United States on your
tax return. The amount of foreign or possession
income taxes paid that you may claim as a
credit is figured on Form 1116, Computation of
Foreign Tax Credit, which should be attached
to your tax return, Form 1040. For more information, see Publication 514, Foreign Tax Credit
for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens.
Filing Tax Returns
A U.S. citizen who qualifies for the exemption
of income under the possession-exemption
rules ordinarily may claim this exclusion by tiling Form 1040. with an attached Form 4563. Exclusion of Income from Sources in United
States Possessions. Form 4563 is an information form that allows you to show that you
qualified for the possession exemption during a
tax year. Form 4563 should be filed with your
Form 1040 and should not be filed by itself.
Form 4563 is not an income tax return. An example with a filled-in Form 4563 can be found
at the end of this publication.
A U.S. citizen who can claim the possession
exemption and whose gross income for the tax
year is $1,000 or more must file Form 1040 (regardless of marital status).
A U.S. citizen who cannot claim the possession exemption, who is single. under 65, and
whose gross income for 1982 is $3,300 or more
($5,400 or more combined gross income of
both spouses for a married person who can file
jointly) must file a U.S. income tax return.
A qualifying widow(er). under 65. must file an
income tax return if gross income is $4,400 or
more. If 65 or older before the end of the tax
year, a qualifying widow(er) must file it gross income is $5,400 or more.
A married person filing separately, or a person who received unearned income, such as interest, dividends, rents, rosities, etc., and who
is dependent of another file a
return if gross income for tax year is $1,000
or more.
Example. Regina Gray, an unmarried U.S.
citizen, was employed in American Samoa to
teach school for the period July 2, 1980. to
June 4, 1982: Her income consisted of salary
for teaching plus interest of $500 each year on
deposits in a U.S. bank.

and her Samoan income was exempt during the
applicable period for 1980 under the possession-exemption rules.
1981-She is not required to file any U.S.
federal tax return for this year, because her
gross taxable income, $500, was less than
$1,000.
1982-She files Form 1040 and Form 4563
because her gross taxable income, $6,500. was
enough to require the filing of a U.S. tax return
and her Samoan income was exempt during the
applicable period.
NOTE-Regina files Samoan tax returns for
all 3 years.
Joint tax returns. You may file a joint tax return
with your spouse If it is to your benefit. If you
file jointly; you must use your total combined
gross Income in determining whether the 80%
and 50% rules, explained earlier, have been
met. Each of you must consider your own applicable period when determining gross income
for figuring your combined gross income for the
two tests.
Example. Stephen Green was employed in a
possession from February 1. 1982, through December 31, 1982. His wife, Mary, joined him on
June 28. 1982. and also remained to the end of
the year.
Stephen and Mary received the following respective incomes during the tax year and during their applicable periods, February 1. 1982.

On their joint return Stephen and Mary may
deduct only one personal exemption of $1,000.
They must follow the rules and restrictions on
deductions, explained below. To figure their actual tax liability. they should use the column in
the Tax Table for married persons filing jointly,
found in the instructions for Form 1040.
Figuring Taxable Income
If you take advantage of the possession ex.
emption, you must accept unusual restrictions
and special rules in claiming deductions. These
rules reduce or completely eliminate certain deductions and credits that you could otherwise
claim. Nevertheless, you must observe the following rules if you want to take the possession
exemption.
Exemptions
1) You may deduct only one personal exemption of $1,000. Even if you file a joint return,
you may not deduct the usual $1,000 exemption for each child and your spouse. If you
have a spouse and two children, you may
deduct only $1,000, and not $4,000 ($1,000
X 4). which is the normal deduction for personal exemptions allowed for a husband and
wife and two children.
2) You may not claim additional exemptions for
blindness or age (65 years or over).
Deductions
1) You may claim deductions if they are connected with, and are not more than, your income from sources within the United States.
2) You may claim a deduction for losses incurred in certain profit-motivated transactions that are not reimbursed by insurance,
though not connected with a trade or business. These transactions must be of a kind
that would yield a taxable profit if they
turned out to be profitable.
3) You may claim a deduction for casualty and
theft losses to property located in the United
States and not reimbursed by insurance,
even though the losses are not connected
with a trade or business in the United States.
If the property is not located in the United
States, the losses are not allowable.
4) You are not entitled to the zero bracket
amount that is incorporated in the Tax Table
and the Tax Rate Schedules. You must,
therefore, add any unused zero bracket
amount (excess of zero bracket amount over
allowable itemized deductions) to income.
5) You may not claim a deduction for expenses
that you incurred to earn exempt income.
6) You may not claim the deduction for medical
expenses.
7) You may not ordinarily claim deductions for
taxes and interest. However, if such expenses are connected with your income
from sources within the United States, they
may be deducted. See paragraph (1).
8) You may not claim the deduction for contributions to foreign churches and charitable
organizations unless the organizations have
been approved by the Internal Revenue Service for deductible contributions.
Credits
1) You may not claim a credit for income taxes
paid to a foreign country or to a possession
of the United States.
You Day not claim the earned income credit
" you claim the possession exemption. For
1982, this is a refundable credit of 10% of
your first $5,000 of earned income, or $500.
The amount of the credit is reduced if your
adjusted gross income (or earned income, if
greater), is more than $6,000.
Figuring Your Tax
If you take the exclusion, you must itemize
your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040). If
the amount on Schedule A, line 29. is more
than the amount on line 28. you must fill out the
worksheet on page 12 of the instructions for
your Form 1040 to figure how much to enter on
Form 1040, line 35.
If you use the Tax Table to find your tax and
are either married and filing jointly or a qualify-
Ing widow or widower, use the Tax Table column for a married person filing jointly, after you
subtract one personal exemption of $1,000. The
Tax Table is in your Form 1040 instructions. It
you are single, married filing separately. or
head of household. use the corresponding column In the Tax Table.
Note. If you take the possession exemption,
you may not figure your U.S. income tax under
the income averaging method on Schedule G
(Form 1040).
Where to file. Attach the completed Form 4563
to your Form 1040 and file it with the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA
19255.
Example. Larry Black. age 65. arrived in a
possession with his wife and three children on
March 3. 1982. and was employed there as a
teacher until the end of the year. His income,
expenses, etc., are as follows.
1) Wages in United States (1/1/82 to 3/2/82) $ 4,000
2) Wages in possession (3/3/82 to 12/31/82).

Exemption Not Claimed
Because of the restrictions and rules discussed before. claiming the possession exemption may not be to your benefit. Your tax liability
may be less without the possession exemption
than with it. You do not have to claim the possession exemption if it is not to your benefit.
If you do not claim the possession exemption,
prepare your tax return in the usual way. Report
on your return all taxable income, including income from possession sources. You can claim
all credits, exemptions, and deductions according to the instructions for Form 1040. The following example shows a taxpayer who did not
claim the possession exemption.
Example. Bob Gray earned $7,000 working in
the United States from January 1. 1982, to June
4, 1982, and $8,000 working on Wake Island
from June 7, 1982. to December 31, 1982. He
has a wife and six dependent children. He contributed $250 to his church. In a car accident in
the United States, he suffered a casualty loss of
$180 that was not covered by insurance. After
of this luss on his car (used for pleasure).
Bob did not claim the possession exemption
because his total tax was lower without it. The
two computations are as follows.

Note. You should figure your total tax with
and without the possession exemption and use
the lower tax liability.
Deduction for a married couple when both
work. Beginning in 1982, you and your spouse
may be able to claim a special deduction from
gross income if you both work and choose to
file a joint return. The deduction is based on a
percentage of the qualified earned Income,
which consists mainly of wages and self-emplayment income, of the spouse with the lower
total of earned income. For 1982, the maximum
deduction is $1,500 (5% of $30,000 or of the
earned income of the lower-earning spouse,
whichever is less). After 1982. the maximum deduction is increased to $3,000 (10% of $30,000
or of the earned income of the lower-earning
spouse, whichever is less).
Example. Paul and Sandra Morgan, a married
couple who both work, have gross income of
$31,000. This consists of $16,000 earned income for Paul, $14,000 earned income for Sandra, and $1,000 of interest income. Because
Sandra's earned income is the lower of the two,
their deduction for 1982 is limited to 5% of
$14,000, or $700.
If you take the possession exemption, you
cannot claim the deduction for married couples
who both work. This is another reason why you
should figure your tax liability with and without
the possession exemption to determine which
way is more beneficial to you.
Community Property
Married U.S. citizens who are domiciled in
states or possessions that have community
property laws must make a special computation
to determine whether they qualify for the possession exemption. The following states have
these laws and are community property states.
Arizona
Nevada
California
New Mexico
Idaho
Texas
Louisiana
Washington
To determine whether they meet the 80% and
50% tests. married U.S. citizens domiciled in a
community property state must use gross income, as figured under the community property
laws of their state.

Example. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown are
domiciled in California, a community property
state. During the tax year, Mr. Brown worked in
a possession and earned $10,000. During that
year. Mrs. Brown worked in the United States
and earned $6,000. Under the community property laws of California, each spouse owns onehalf of the community income. Since compensation for personal services is community income in California, each spouse owns one-half
of his or her own wages plus one-half of the
wages of the other spouse. The following table
shows Mr. Brown's gross income under both
the noncommunity and community property
rules.
In the ordinary sense, Mr. Brown's gross income consists only of the $10,000 wages from
possession sources. On the basis of that income he would meet the 80% and 50% rules.
However, because he is domiciled in a community property state, he must determine his gross
income under the community property laws.
This means that his gross income is only
$8,000. It consists of half of his wife's U.S.
source wages ($3,000) and half of his own possession source wages ($5,000). On the basis of
community property laws, he does not satisfy
the 80% requirement. The ratio of his possession source gross income to total gross income
is less than 80%.
Possession source gross income, $5,000 - Total gross
income, $8,000 = 62.5%
Mr. Brown does not qualify for the possession
exemption. He must observe the community
property laws of his state of domicile in determining the amounts of community income that
legally belong to him. In other words, he must
use the $8,000 figure, which is the income that
is legally his under the California community
property laws and not the $10,000 figure, the
actual amount of his wages for the year.
Because Mr. Brown does not meet the possession-exemption rules, it will probably be
more beneficial for Mr. and Mrs. Brown to file
Form 1040 jointly as if they were both living in
the United States. If Mr. Brown had to pay income tax to the possession, he could take a
credit against his U.S. tax liability for the possession tax paid up to the amount allowed as a
foreign tax credit. See Publication 514, Foreign
Tax Credit for U.S. Citizens and Resident
Aliens.
The example of Mr. and Mrs. Brown is a simplified illustration of the rule that married U.S.
citizens domiciled in community property states
must treat community income as owned equally
by each spouse. Community income may consist of income from community or separate
property and also wages earned by both
spouses. as in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Brown
of California.
Note. If Mr. and Mrs. Brown did not live together at any time during the year and none of
their wages were transferred between them. the
community property law would not apply to
their earned income. In this case, Mr. Brown
would quality for the possession exemption on
a separate return because he would have to report only his own $10,000 possession income.
U.S. citizens domiciled in certain community
property states may also derive separate income in addition to their community income.
They must consider both community and separate gross income for the possession exemption. In determining whether they meet the 80%
and 50% rules. they must figure their gross income as follows:
Separate Gross Income
Hall of Community Gross Income
Gross Income for Purposes of 80% and 50% Rules
The meanings of such terms as domicile.
community property, community income, separate property, and separate income may vary
from state to state. The laws of the state in
which you are domiciled determine your treatment of community property and community Income.
Domicile. You have only one domicile even
though you may have more than one home.
Your domicile is a permanent legal home used
for an indefinite period of time. The question of
domicile is mainly a matter of your intention. If
your domicile or residency is questioned, you
must be able to show, with facts. that you intend a given place or state to be your permanent home. The amount of time spent in one
place does not always explain the difference
between home and domicile. A temporary home
may continue for months or years. while a domicile may be established the first moment you
occupy the property. Your intent is the controlling element in determining where you actually
have your domicile.
Community property. Generally, community
property is all property, not falling within the
definition of separate property, acquired by the
husband and wife during their marriage while
they are domiciled in a community property
state. Community property also includes property that spouses have agreed to convert from
separate property to community property. According to state law, each spouse owns half of
all community property. All community property
belongs as much to the wife as it does to the
husband. There are exceptions to this general
rule and these vary in the different states. If
property cannot be identified as separate property, it will be considered as community property. It is important for federal tax purposes to
classify property according to the laws of the
state in which you are domiciled.
Community income. Generally, community income is all income from community property
and salaries. wages, and other pay for the services of either or both the husband and wife. In
some states, income from separate property is
also community income. If a husband and wife
choose to file separate returns, half of all community income must be reported by one
spouse. and the other haif by the other spouse.
Separate property. Generally. separate property
is all property owned separately by you and
your spouse before your marriage. It is also
property acquired separately after marriage by
you or your spouse as a gift, devise, bequest. or
inheritance. Separate property may be acquired
during marriage by buying property with separate funds or in exchange for separate property.
Generally, once property is classified as separate property. it remains separate as long as it
can be traced.
Separate Income. Generally, under the community property system. income from separate
property is income of the spouse who is considered to own the property. However, in some
states, income from separate property is sometimes recognized to be community income. The
method of treating income arising from separate property varies in different states.
Income from property acquired with commingled (mixed) tunds. Generally, il you acquire
property during your marriage, partly with community funds and partly with separate funds. the
income from that property must be divided. Income from the part of the property bought with
community funds Is community income. Income
570 6
1-11-83
from the part bought with separate funds is
community income or separate income, depending on the laws of the state of domicile.
Expenses. The expenses for producing income,
such as rents. royalties. dividends, and salaries,
are classified as community or separate expenses that are deductible according to how
the respective income is classified.
Example. You and your spouse own an apartment house. in the state in which you are domiciled, the apartment house is community
property. If you file separate federal income tax
returns, you each will report half of the income
from the property. and neither may deduct more
than half the expenses incurred for the operation of the apartment house.
Itemized deductions. If you have itemized deductions that are paid from community funds,
such as charitable contributions, interest, taxes,
and medical expenses, you and your spouse
may each deduct half on separate tax returns. If
it can be proved, however, that they were actually paid from the separate funds of you or your
spouse. they are ordinarily deductible on the return of the spouse who paid them. The taxpayer
who meets the possession-exemption rules
must follow the guidelines for deductions that
were explained previously.

see Publication 555. Community Property and
the Federal Income Tax.
Self-Employment Tax
A U.S. citizen who owns and operates a business in Puerto Rico. Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa. the Virgin
Islands, or in any other possession must pay tax
on net self-employment earnings of $400 or
more from those sources. This rule applies
whether or not the earnings are exempt from
U.S. income taxes (or whether or not a U.S. income tax return is required). Unless one of the
following special income tax rules applies, attach Schedule SE (Form 1040) to your U.S. income tax return. If you receive self-employment
income from sources in Guam or the Northern
Mariana Islands or self-employment income
from sources in American Samoa that is exempt
from U.S. income tax, use Form 1040SS. U.S.

Filing Requirements for
Certain U.S. Possessions
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa
have their own independent tax departments. A
U.S. citizen who derives income from sources
in these islands will probably have to file a tax
return with one of the island tax departments. It
is possible that a U.S. citizen may have to file
two annual tax returns: one with the island tax
department and the other with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service.
You should ask for forms and advice about
the filing of Island tax returns from that island's
tax department and not the Internal Revenue
Service. in some situations you may have to determine if you are a resident or a nonresident of
a certain island. Contact the tax department of
that island for advice about this point.
The following short discussions describe the
filing requirements for U.S. citizens who derive
income from sources in Guam. the Northern
Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
and American Samoa.
Guam
Guam has its own separate and independent
tax system, based on the same tax laws and tax
rates that apply in the United States. Requests
for advice about Guam residency and-tax matters should be addressed to the:
Commissioner of Revenue and Taxation
Government of Guam
Agana, Guam 96910
The following discussion covers the basic tax
rules for residents and nonresidents of Guam.
If you are a U.S. citizen who derives income
from Guam and United States sources, you do
not have to file income tax returns with both jurisdictions. You must file with either Guam or
the United States, but not both. You are relieved of any income tax liability to the jurisdiction with which you are not required to file. If a
return is required, you must include income
from all sources (including the U.S. and Guam).
If you are employed in Guam, the possession
exemption does not apply.
If you are a resident of Guam on the last day of
your tax year, you should file your return with
the Commissioner of Revenue and Taxation,
Government of Guam, Agana, Guam 96910. Include any balance of tax due on income derived
from all sources with your tax return.
If you are a resident of the United States on the
last day of your tax year, you should file your
return with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadeiphia, PA 19255. Include any balance of tax due on income derived from all
sources with your tax return.
If you are neither a resident of Guam nor of the
United States at the end of your tax year, you
should file with Guam if you are a citizen of
Guam but not otherwise a citizen of the United
States (i.e. born or naturalized in Guam). Otherwise, you should file with the United States.
Your place of residence is determined mainly
by your intentions about the length and the nature of your stay. If an extended period of time
is needed for the purpose of your stay and your
home Is made temporarily at that place, you are
considered a resident even though you Intend
to eventually return to a domiclle at some other
location.
However, if your visit is for a definite purpose,
which can be done quickly, you are not considered a resident.
If you file a joint return, you should file It (and
pay the tax) with the jurisdiction where the
spouse who has the greater adjusted gross income would be required to file (if filing separately). If the spouse with the greater adjusted
gross income is a resident of Guam at the end
of the tax year, file the joint return with Guam. If
the spouse with the greater adjusted gross income is a resident of the United States at the
end of the tax year, file the joint return with the
United States. For this purpose, income is determined without regard to community property
laws.
U.S. Armed Forces personnel. If you are a
member of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed on
Guam, you are not considered a resident of
Guam and you must file your return with the
United States. However, if you are a civilian employee of the military, you are subject to the
same rules, described earlier, as other U.S. citizens who live on Guam. If you are a resident of
Guam on the last day of your tax year. file your
return with Guam.
Estimated tax. For tax years beginning in 1983,
if you have to pay estimated tax, see Publication 505. Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax,
for details on how to make your payments.
Income taxes withheld and estimated tax payments are taken into account in determining if
the return results in a balance of tax due or an
overpayment, whether or not the withholdings
or payments were actually received by the jurisdiction with which the return must be filed. Any
liability for underpayment of estimated tax is
payable to the jurisdiction where you file your
return for the tax year.
Example 1. Paul Green was a resident of
Guam during the entire year of 1982. His 1982
income consisted of wages of $10,000 paid by a
private employer, and dividends of $4,000 from
U.S. corporations that carry on business mainly
in the United States.
He must file a 1982 income tax return with
the Government of Guam. He reports his gross
income of $14,000 on this return.
Example 2. William Black, a U.S. citizen was
employed by a private company in Guam from
June 2. 1982, through December 31; 1982. He
received a salary of $10,000 during that period
for his work in Guam. $4,000 in dividends from
U.S. corporations that carry on business mainly
in the United States, and $1,000 in interest from
déposits in U.S. banks. After contacting the
Guam Commissioner of Revenue and Taxation,
William was advised that he was not a resident
of Guam. Therefore, he must file a U.S. tax return. On his U.S. tax return he reports the
$4,000 of dividends, the $1,000 of interest, and
the $10,000 Guam salary.
Example 3. Bill White, a U.S. citizen, was a
resident of the United States, and his wile, a
citizen of Guam, was a resident of Guam at the
end of 1982. Bill's income consisted of a
1-11-83
570
$15,000 salary as an engineer. Mrs. White
earned $10,000 as a teacher in Guam. Mr. and
Mrs: White filed a joint return. Since Bill has the
greater adjusted gross income, they must file
their return with the United States and report
the entire $25,000 on this return.
Information return. If your adjusted gross income from all sources is at least $50,000, consists of at least $5,000 of gross income from
sources in Guam, and if you must file a U.S. income tax return, attach Form 5074, Allocation
of Individual Income Tax to Guam or Northern
Mariana Islands, to Form 1040. Form 5074 may
be obtained from most Internal Revenue offices.
If you need further information on Form 5074,
write to the Internal Revenue Service, Foreign
Operations District, Attention:FOD:8, Washington, DC 20225.
Northern Mariana Islands
The Northern Mariana Islands has its own
separate and independent tax system based on
the same tax laws and tax rates that apply to
the United States. Requests for advice about
residency and tax matters should be addressed
to the Division of Revenues, Saipan, Mariana Islands 96950.
The following discussion covers the basic tax
rules for residents and nonresidents of the
Northern Mariana Islands.
If you are a U.S. citizen who derives income
from the Northern Mariana Islands and United
States sources. you do not have to file income
tax returns with both jurisdictions. You must file
with either the Northern Mariana Islands or the
United States, but not both. You are relieved of
any income tax liability to the jurisdiction with
which you are not required to file. If you must
file a return, be sure to include income from all
sources (including the U.S. and Northern Mariana islands).
If you are a resident of the Northern Mariana islands on the last day of your tax year, you
should file your return with the Division of Revenues, Saipan, Mariana Islands 96950. Include
any balance of tax due on income derived from
all sources with your tax return.
If you are a resident of the United States on the
last day of your tax year. you should file your
return with the Internal Revenue Service Center. Philadelphia, PA 19255. Include any balance of tax due on income derived from all
sources with your tax return.
If you are neither a resident of the Northern
Mariana Islands nor of the United States at the
end of your tax year, you should file with the Division of Revenues. Saipan, Mariana Islands
95950. if you are a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands and with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255, if you are a
citizen of the United States.
Your place of residence is determined mainly
by your intentions about the length and the nature of your stay. If an extended period of time
is needed for the purpose of your stay and your
home is made temporarily at that place, you are
considered a resident even though you intend
to eventually return to a domicile at some other
location.
However, if your visit is for a definite purpose,
which can be done quickly. you are not considered a resident.
If you file a joint return, you should file It (and
pay the tax) with the jurisdiction where the
spouse who has the greater adjusted gross income would be required to file (if filing separately). If the spouse with the greater adjusted
gross income is a resident of the Northern Mariana Islands at the end of the tax year. file the
joint return with the Northern Mariana Islands. If
the spouse with the greater adjusted gross income is a resident of the United States at the
end of the tax year, file the joint return with the
United States. For this purpose. income is determined without regard to community property
laws.
Estimated tax. For tax years beginning in 1983,
if you have to pay estimated tax, see Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax,
for details on how to make-your payments.
Income taxes withheld and estimated tax payments are taken into account in determining if
the return results in a balance of tax due or an
overpayment, whether or not the withholdings
or payments were actually received by the jurisdiction with which the return must be filed. Any
liability for underpayment of estimated tax is
payable to the jurisdiction where you file your
return for the tax year.
Information return. If your adjusted gross income from all sources is at least $50,000, consists of at least $5,000 of gross income derived
from sources in the Northern Mariana Islands,
and if you must file a U.S. income tax return, attach Form 5074. Allocation of Individual Income
Tax to Guam or Northern Mariana Islands. to
Form 1040. Form 5074 may be obtained from
most Internal Revenue offices. If you need further information on Form 5074. write to the Internal Revenue Service, Foreign Operations
District, Attention:FOD:8, Washington, DC
20225.
The Virgin Islands
An important factor in Virgin Islands taxation
is whether you. on the last day of the tax year,
have made a home in the Virgin Islands as a
bona fide resident and are not a visitor or tourist.
It you are a U.S. citizen and a bona fide resident of the Virgin Islands on the last day of the
tax year. you file your annual tax return with the
Government of the Virgin Islands and pay the
entire tax due to the Virgin Islands. You are not
required to file a U.S. federal income tax return
for any tax year in which you are a bona fide
resident of the Virgin Islands on the last day of
the year.
Example. Mr. and Mrs. Brown left the United
States on December 1. 19' and landed in the
virginistarios on ma
WERE
for the purpose of making home in the Virgin Islands, they qualified as bona fide residents of the Virgin Islands on the last day of
their tax year, December 31, 1982.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown file their 1982 income tax
return with the Government of the Virgin Islands
and pay the entire tax for that year to the Virgin
Islands. Even though they lived in the United
States most of the year. their income tax obligations for that year are completely under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Virgin
Islands.
It you are a U.S. citizen who derives income
from Virgin Islands sources and you are not a
bona fide resident of the Virgin Islands on the
last day of your tax year, you must file both Virgin Islands and U.S. federal income tax returns.
On the Virgin Islands tax return you will report
only your income from Virgin Islands sources.
On the U.S. federal tax return you will report
your income from worldwide sources, Including
the Virgin Islands. You may claim credit on the
U.S. tax return for the income taxes you must
pay to the Virgin Islands up to the amount allowed as a foreign tax credit. See Publication
514, Foreign Tax Credit for U.S. Citizens and
Resident Aliens.
Example. Jane Blue. a U.S. citizen, was employed in the Virgin Islands from September 7.
1981, to May 31. 1982. She went to the Virgin
Islands for temporary employment and not to
make her home there. Therefore, she was not a
bona fide resident of the Virgin Islands on the
last day of the tax year even though she was
present there on that date.
Jane must file two tax returns for each year.
On her 1981 and 1982 Virgin Islands tax returns, she should report only her income from
Virgin Islands sources during those years. The
wages she received for working in the Virgin Islands is income from Virgin Islands sources. On
her U.S. tax returns she should report income
from worldwide sources received during those
years. She may take a credit against each
year's U.S. tax liability for the income taxes paid
or accrued to the Virgin Islands for each year.
If you are a U.S. citizen and a bona fide resident of the Virgin Islands, and you end your
status as a bona fide resident during the year,
you must file both Virgin Islands and U.S. federal income tax returns. On your Virgin Islands
return, you will report your income from worldwide sources only for the part of the year you
were a bona fide resident of the Virgin Islands
On the U.S. return, you will report your income
from worldwide sources, including the Virgin Islands income, for the entire year. You may
claim a credit on the U.S. tax return for the Income taxes you pay to the Virgin Islands up to
the amount allowed as a foreign tax credit.
You must file your Virgin Islands tax return
with the Government of the Virgin Islands and
pay any tax due with the return to the Virgin Islands. You should indicate on the top of the Virgin Islands return that you were a part year
resident of the Virgin Islands.
Example. Fred and Jean Brown were bona
fide residents of the Virgin Islands during 1981.
They continued to reside in the Virgin Islands
until May 31. 1982, when they left the Virgin Islands and landed in the United States that day.
Their intention was to end their status as bona
fide residents of the Virgin Islands. The Browns
filed their 1981 income tax return with the Govemment of the Virgin Islands, reporting their income from worldwide sources In 1982. Fred
come from worldwide sources on the Virgin Islands return for the part of the year they were
bona fide residents and file that return with the
Government of the Virgin Islands. The Browns
must also file a U.S. federal income tax return
with the United States reporting worldwide Income from all sources for the entire 1982 tax
year. However, they may claim a credit on the
U.S. tax return for the taxes paid to the Virgin
Islands, subject to the foreign tax credit limitations, by filing Form 1116 with their U.S. return.
Virgin Islands tax returns should be filed with
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Charlotte
Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 00801. Contact that office for information about the filing of
these tax returns.
Note. A mutual agreement procedure exists to
settle cases of double taxation between the
1-11-83
570 8
United States and the Virgin Islands. Address
your request for assistance under this procedure to the District Director, Foreign Operations
District, Internal Revenue Service, 1325 K
Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20225, or to the
Commissioner of Finance, P.O. Box 2515. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 00801.
Make sure that your request contains all the
facts and circumstances relating to your particular case. You should include in the request
a statement with your name, social security
number, tax year(s) involved. the amount of tax
paid to both the United States and the Virgin islands, a copy of your Virgin Islands tax return(s). whether or not you claimed a foreign
tax credit for any taxes paid to the Virgin Islands, and any other important information you
wish to provide. This detailed information will
help avoid unnecessary delays. For more information on how to prepare your request, see
Revenue Procedure 80-57. 1980-2 C.B. 852.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has its
own separate and independent tax system. It is
modeled after the U.S. system but there are
variations in law and tax rates. A U.S. citizen
who derives income from Puerto Rican sources
will be liable for payment of Puerto Rican taxes.
The individual may also be liable for filing a
U.S. tax return. Requests for forms and other
information about the filing of Puerto Rican tax
returns should be sent to Oficina de Apelaciones Administrativas, Consultas y Legislación.
Negociado de Contribución sobre Ingresos,
Apartado $ 2501, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00903.
The filing requirements for U.S. citizens who
are residents and nonresidents of Puerto Rico
are included in the following discussions.
Puerto Rican taxation. Since the source of income is an important factor in Puerto Rican taxstion, see Sources of income. discussed earlier.
Residents of Puerto Rico. If you are a U.S.
citizen and also a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, you are generally liable
for the payment of tax to Puerto Rico on your
income from worldwide sources. Any wages
and the cost-of-living allowance paid to you by
the U.S. Government for working in Puerto Rico
are subject to Puerto Rican tax. Advice about
possible tax benefits under the Puerto Rican investment incentive programs is available from
the Puerto Rican tax authorities. If you report
U.S. source income on your Puerto Rican tax
return, you may claim a credit against the
Puerto Rican tax, up to the amount allowable,
for income taxes paid to the United States.
Nonresidents of Puerio Rico. If you are a U.S.
citizen and are not a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, you are liable for the
payment of tax to Puerto Rico only on your income from Puerto Rican sources. Wages that
you earn for services performed in Puerto Rico
for the U.S. Government or for private employ-
Drs is income from Puerto Rican sources.
U.S. taxation. As a U.S. citizen, you are liable
or the payment of U.S. federal income tax on
your gross income from worldwide sources, no
is tter where your residence may be. However,
special rule applies if you are a bona fide resi-
'er.t of Puerto Rico for an entire tax year or
"re been a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico
fo: at least 2 years and later change your restence from Puerto Rico during a tax year.
come you received from Puerto Rican
150.00$ during your residence there, or year of
Co. .1 10, is exempt from U.S. tax. However, income you received for services performed in
Puerto Rico as an employee of the United
States must be reported on your U.S. income
tax return.
Deductions. Deductions that apply to your
exempt Puerto Rican income are not deductible
on your federal income tax return.
Deductions that do not specifically apply to
any particular type of income must be allocated
between your income from Puerto Rican
sources and income from all other sources to
find the part that you may deduct on your U.S.
tax return. Examples of deductions that do not
definitely apply to a particular type of income
are alimony payments and certain itemized deductions (such as medical expenses, charitable
contributions, and real estate taxes and mortgage interest on your personal residence). To
find the part of the deduction that is allowable,
multiply the deduction to be allocated by a Iraction. The numerator of the fraction is your gross
income from sources outside Puerto Rico, and
the denominator is your total gross income from
all sources.
Example. You and your spouse are bona fide
residents of Puerto Rico during all of 1982. You
file a joint return. You received $25,000 of income from Puerto Rican sources, and $15,000
from sources outside of Puerto Rico during
1982. You have $16,000 of itemized deductions
that do not apply to any specific type of income
(real estate taxes and mortgage interest on your
personal residence, medical expenses, and
charitable contributions). The part of your deductions that is allowable on your federal tax
return is figured as follows.
Allocation of itemized deductions to U.S. income:
($15,000/$40,000) x $16,000 =
$6,000
Minus: Zero bracket amount
3,400
Allowable excess itemized deductions
$2.600
You must show the $6,000 on line 28 of Schedule A. Itemized Deductions, the form used to
figure your allowable itemized deductions. On
line 29, enter the zero bracket amount of
$3,400. Subtract this amount from line 28 and
enter the difference ($2,600) on line 30. You
must also enter the $2,600 on line 34a of Form
1040 when figuring your taxable income.
If line 30 is a negative amount: that is. the excess of the zero bracket amount over your itemized deductions. you must add the excess to
the amount that would otherwise be entered on
line 35 of Form 1040.
Mary:
Zero bracket amount. Like the deductions
discussed above, the'zero bracket amount does
not apply to any particular type of income. The
part of the zero bracket amount that is allocated
to your Puerto Rican income must be added
back to your income because the zero bracket
amount is built into the Tax Table and Tax Rate
Schedules. You do not have to allocate the zero
bracket amount if you itemize your deductions.
You must allocate your deductions instead, as
discussed above. To find the part of the zero
bracket amount that applies to your Puerto Rican income, multiply the zero bracket amount
by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is
your gross income from Puerto Rican sources,
and the denominator is your gross income from
all sources. This adjustment must be made before you can determine if you must file a U.S.
tax return, because the minimum income level
at which you must file a return is based, in part,
on the zero bracket amount for your particular
filing status. For example, in 1982. a return
must be filed by a single individual, under 65,
with gross income of $3,300 (zero bracket
amount of $2,300 plus $1,000. one exemption).
Example. James and Mary Ash, both under
65. are U.S. citizens and bona fide residents of
Puerto Rico. They file a joint income tax return.
During 1982. they received $15,000 of incomefrom Puerto Rican sources and $4,000 of income from sources outside Puerto Rico: They
do not itemize their deductions. but they are allowed to deduct 25% of the $100 they gave to
the Red Cross. In 1982, married individuals filing joint tax returns who are both under 65,
must file a return if their combined gross income is $5,400 or more. The zero bracket
amount for married individuals filing a joint return is $3,400. Their U.S. taxable income is
$4,659, figured as follows:
Income from sources outside Puerto Rico
$4,000
Plus: Part of zero bracket amount allocated to
income from Puerto Rican sources ($15,000/
$19,000) x $3,400
2,684
Total
$6,684
Minus: Charitable contributions (line 34b of Form
1040)
25
Total (line 35 of Form 1040)
$6,659
Minus: Personal exemptions
2,000
Taxable income (line 37 of Form 1040)
$4,659
Because of this adjustment, they must file a
U.S. tax return.
Personal exemptions are allowed in full and
need not be allocated.
Foreign tax credit. If you are a U.S. citizen
and are not a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico
for the entire tax year, you must report on your
U.S. tax return all of your Puerto Rican income
as well as all other income from worldwide
sources. If you are required to report Puerto Rican income on a U.S. tax return, you may claim
a credit, up to the amount figured on Form
1116, for income taxes paid to Puerto Rico.
The following example illustrates the taxation of
U.S. citizens who have been bona fide residents
of Puerto Rico for their entire tax year.
Example. John and Mary Reddy were bona
fide residents of Puerto Rico during the entire
year of 1982. and received the following income
in that year.
John:
$10,000 wages as an employee of the U.S. Government
working in Puerto Rico.

American Samoa
American Samoa has its own separate and independent tax system. Although its tax laws are
modeled on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,
there are certain differences. Requests for advice about matters connected with Samoan taxation should be sent to the Tax Manager.
Government of American Samoa, Pago Pago,
American Samoa 96799.
Residents of Samoa. If you are a U.S. citizen
and a resident of Samoa, you must report your
gross income from worldwide sources on your
Samoan tax return. If you report non-Samoan
source income on the Samoan tax return, you
may claim a credit against the Samoan tax liability for income taxes paid to the United
States. a foreign country, another posses
sion.
If you are a resident of Samoa for part of the
tax year and you then leave Samoa, you must
file a tax return with American Samoa for the
part of the year you were present in Samoa.
Nonresidents of Samoa. If you are a U.S. citizen
and are not a resident of Samoa, you should re.
port only income from Samoan sources on your
Samoan tax return.
Wages and salaries paid by the Governments
of the United States and American Samoa to
U.S. citizens are also subject to U.S. federal income tax. These payments are not exempt under the possession-exemption rules.
U.S. Government employees. If you are employed in Samoa by either the U.S. Government
or any of its agencies, or by the Government of
American Samoa, you are subject to tax by Samoa on your pay from either government.
Whether you are subject 10 tax by Samoa on
your non-Samoan source income depends on
your status as a resident or nonresident.
Ordinarily, this means that you must file both
U.S. and Samoan tax returns. Single taxpayers
whose total gross income during 1982 is less
than the minimum requirement for filing tax returns ($3,300, or $4,300 if the taxpayer is 65 or
older) do not have to file. A qualifying widow(er)
whose gross income is less than $4,400 ($5,400
if 65 or older) does not have to file. For married
taxpayers filing joint returns, the minimum filing
requirement for 1982 is $5,400. increased by
$1,000 for each spouse age 65 or ofder. For
married taxpayers filing separate returns, the
minimum amount is $1,000.
If you report your governmental wages on
both U.S. and Samoan tax returns, you may
take a credit on your U.S. tax returns for income taxes paid or accrued to Samoa. You
should figure that credit on Form 1116. and attach that form to the U.S. tax return, Form 1040.
Show your wages paid for services performed
in Samoa on Form 1116 as income from
sources in a possession.
Illustrated Example
This example, illustrated on the filled-in Form
4563. shows how John Black figured his 1982
gross taxable income. It also shows that he
qualified for the possession exemption for that
year.
1) John. a bachelor. was employed in American
Samoa by the Samoa Products Co., a private
Samoan corporation, from April 3, 1975,
through October 15, 1982. His applicable period is entered in columns (b) and (c) of
Form 4563. Since an applicable period for
the 80% and 50% tests is never more than
the 3-year period immediately before the
end of the tax year involved, the applicable
period for his 1982 tax year is from January
1, 1980, through October 15. 1982.
2) His wages earned during the applicable period are listed here. All these amounts were
received in Samoa and are payments for services there. Since these wages were from
Samoan sources, they are entered in column
(d). He worked in the United States from November 3. 1982. to December 31, 1982, and
earned $1,200 during that period.
Samoan Wages
1/1/80 to 12/31/80
$8,000
1/1/81 to 12/31/81
9,000
3) He received dividends team Samoan corporations during the applicable period, as
listed here. All these amounts were actually
received in Samoa The corporations did
business only in Samoa. The figures are entered in column (e).
Dividends from Samoan Corporations
1/1/80 to 12/31/80
$100
1/1/81 10 12/31/81
160
1/1/82 to 10/15/82
220
4) He received dividends in the United States
during the applicable period from several
Canadian and United Kingdom corporations
that carry on business mainly in those countries. Note that these dividends were from
sources outside both the United States and
possessions. Gross income from foreign
sources is entered in column (f)
It is especially important to know that these
foreign dividends were received directly by his
bank in the United States. Because they were
received in the United States, they must be
treated as taxable income, but this does not
change the fact that they were from foreign
sources and should be entered in column (1).
Dividends from Corporations of Foreign Countries
1/1/80 to 12/31/80
$600
1/1/81 to 12/31/81
800
1/1/82 to 10/15/82
800
5) He received dividends from a number of
large U.S. corporations that do business
mainly in the United States. These dividends
were from U.S. sources and must be treated
as taxable income regardless of where they
were received. The figures are entered in
column (g).
Dividends from U.S. Corporations
1/1/80 to 12/31/80
$1,600
1/1/81 to 12/31/81
2,000
1/1/82 to 10/15/82
1,800
6) Now he should determine if he qualifies for
the passession exemption.
80% Rule
Gross income from possession sources (line 5). $32,280
4 Total gross income (line 7). $39,880 :: 80.9%
50% Rule
Gross income from possession wages (column (d) line
4). $31,800 - Total gross income (line 7). $39,880 =
79.7%
Since both the 80% and 50% rules have been
satisfied. John qualifies for the possession exemption.
7) Now that John knows he qualifies for the
possession exemption in 1982. he must decide which items of 1982 income are taxable
and which are exempt.
a) His 1982 wages of $14,800 shown in cotumn (d) are exempt. because they were
from possession sources and were not
received in the United States. The $1,200
wages he earned in the United States
during 1982 were income from U.S.
sources and taxable regardless of where
they were received.
b) His 1982 dividends of $220 (column (e))
received from Samoan corporations are
exempt from tax. because they were from
possession sources and were not received in the United States.
c) His 1982 dividends of $800 (column (1))
from sources in Canada and the U.K. are
taxable because they were received in
been received during his applicable period outside the United States, they would
have been exempt.
d) His 1982 dividends of $1,800 (column (g))
from U.S. sources are taxable. U.S.
source income is taxable regardless of
where it was received
If you qualify for the possession exemption, it
is suggested that you attach a statement to your
return giving the information described in paragraphs 6 and 7 of this example. In other words,
show that you meet both the 80% and 50% tests
and explain why you consider some of your income taxable and other income exempt. Also,
report the taxable income in the appropriate
parts of Form 1040, such as wages in the SOCtion for wages and dividends in the section for
dividends.

See also § 124.60.
(2) Uncontested conditions which are
not serverable from those contested
shall be stayed together with the
contested conditions. Stayed provisions
of permits for existing facilities,
injection wells, and sources shall be
identified by the Regional
Administrator. All other provisions of
the permit for the existing facility.
injection well. or source shall remain
fully effective and enforceable.
(b) Stays based on cross effects. (1) A
stay may be granted based on the
grounds that an appeal to the
Administrator under § 124.19 of one
permit may result in changes to another
EPA-issued permit only when each of
the permits involved has been appealed
