THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Uncle Sam Starts New Year With Drive for Income Taxes Right on the heels of "Happy Ne: Year” comes the income tax blank, All taxpayers who made returns of net income of $5,000 or less for 1921 soon will receive blanks from collec- tors of internal revenue, being mailed today, for returns for the year 1922. Forms for making returns on net income in excess of $5,000 soon wili be issued and mailed to taxpayers who filed similar returns for 1921. The filing period is from January 1 fo March 15, 1923. From 1040-A for returns up to $5,000 is in six pages, two of which provide for the return proper, and ‘two for making duplicate return. Urged to Read Directions. To avold errors which may result to their disadvantage, taxpayers are ad- vised by the bureau of internal reve- nue in a statement issued today “to study carefully the instructions cn the forms, especially those wiin re- gard to credits for personal exemp- tions and dependents.” “Married persons,” the statement explains, “required to make a return on form 1040-A, those whose net in- come was $5,000 or less, are allowed an exemption of $2,600. The exemption for married persons whose net in- come was in excess of $5,000 is $2,000. _ “The exemption for single persons is $1,000. Also, whether married or single, the taxpayer is allowed a credit’ of $400 for each person de- pendent upon him for chief support, if such person is under eighteen years of age, or incapable of self sup- port because mentally of physically defective. Who Must File Returns. ‘gt should be remembered that the reduirement to file a return is placed upon every married person whose net them. The exemption of $400 for.a dependent may be claimed only by the one who furnishes the dependent's chief support. “The taxpayer's status on the last day of the taxable year—December 31, 1922, if made on the calendar year basis—determines the amount of his exerhptions and credits. If married and living with wife or husband on that day the exemption is $2,500 or 32,000, according to the amount of net income. 1If single and without dependents on that day he may claim but 31,000 as his exemption, even though he may have been married or the head of a family during the Sreater part of the year. Widowers, Widows, divorcees and persons sep- arated by mutual consent are classed as single persons. Revenue Agents to Help. “The burezu of internal revenue is preparing to send into each county in the United States revenue officers Wwho will aid taxpayers in making out their returns. " Similar services will be offered city residents. bureau’s advice befors seeking such assistance is to read carefully the instructions. Unless the problem is particularly complex, study of the form will enable the taxpayer to make a correct return, “The normal rate of tax of 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income and 8 per cent on the remaining net income above the exemption remains unchanged. Surtax rates, which apply only to dncomes in excess of $6,000, are lowered, ranging for the calendar year 1822 from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $6,000 and $10,000 to 50 per cent on the amount by which the net income ex- ceeds $200,000. For the year 1921 the Burtax rates ranged from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $5.000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000.” But the | POLISH FAIRY TALES ART CENTER FEATURE Miss Bialonowska, Who Was Born Near Warsaw, to Entertain Meet- ing Tonight.

The revenue act of North Carolina of 1921, imposing a tax upon the property of railroads within that state, was held constitutional by the United States Supreme Court yester- day in cases brought by the Atlantic Coast Line and four other railroad companies.
