Head Tax status what does that mean?
On my great uncle's border crossing. From Port Huron , Mich. Dec 20, 1911. Under "Head tax Status" it has a #. That number is #27177. So it's not a amount so what does the numbers refer too? Does anyone know? Also this is the last known info I have on him. He dropped off the face of the earth from here. There is info that shows people coming into Canada and US , but I don't see if they left those countries for somewhere else. I can't find him in Canada nor the US in any census or voters list or anything. His name was Klem Kowalyk (Kowlalik). Born approx. 1891. Blind in right eye. he was from Wasylow Austria.

The number 27177 likely refers to a ticket number, cost of which should have included that tax
Also could this be him in the 1911 Canada census?

Re: Head Tax status what does that mean?
I think that number next to the tax status is just IRS or census data. It most likely means where they stood in paying (or not paying) taxes. It most likely was used just for circulating statistics for government purposes. Maybe you could contact the IRS office or do research on archived federal census to determine what that means.

I just remember about the claiming blind status in today's tax records. To me, I think it's possible that number you listed might have something to do with that number.
