(Bee imstrueiions on back of his page) Must Be Filled Out and Sent to Col- lector by March First—Instructions Concerning the Many Details—Pen- alties For Failure—Form 1040 Which Must Be Used. Persons whose incomes are taxable under the federal income tax law must make their returns to the collector of Internal revenue for the distriet which they reside, or where their chief place of business is_located, on or before March 1 next. If you have an income of 33,000 a year, and are a resident of this internal revenue dis- trict, write to_ Internal Revenue Col- lector Jomes J. Walsh, Hartford, Ct. or William H. Farrell of New London, Conn.,( for form No. 1040, which is intended for income returns by indi- viduals. The government offical is ot required to send this form to you. It is vour Quty, under the law, to Se- cure the form, fill it out and send it to_the collector's office. It is desirable to secure the blanks by personal call and secure verbal in- struction concerning points that may be puzzling in the first trial of the law; but each blank, as sent by mail has detalled and precise instructions printed on the last page, and these are not difficult at all to understand. The following is a summary of these official instructions, supplemented by information drawn from other sources: First Tax For 10 Months Only. The law provides that on or before March 1, 1914, and on March 1 each vear thereafter, true and accurate re- | turn under oath or affirmative, shall !be made to the collector of internal | rev * by each person who has a net 000 or more, for the tax- year. It is further provided that for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913, the tax shall be computed on the nef in- come accruing from March 1 to De- cember 31, after deducting five sixths only of the specific exemption and deductions allowable for an _entire taxable year. For the year 1913, con- sequently, the specific exemption al- lowable is 52,500 or $3,333.33, as the e may be. The normal tax of 1 per cent will be assessed on the total net income less the specific exebption. Incomes over $20,000 a year will be subject to graduated super-taxes, as staed in the blanks. The Income Taxable. The income to be the amounts derived taxed comprises from salaries, wages or other compensation for per- sonal services of whatever kind. and in whatever form paid: from prefes- businesses or trades or sales or alines in proverty, real or personal; in | " intent to evade the assessment is de- | come tax withheld at the source above clared gullty of & misdemeanor and | may be fined not exceeding $2,000 or | Imprisoned for not more than ~ope | year, or both, at the discretion of the court, besldes paying the costs of the Prosecution. o In case of sickness or absence of the individual, an extension of time for filing the return, not exceeding 30 days after March 1, may be granted by the collector, provided an application for the extension is made by the indi- vidual within the period for which such extension is desired. Returns of income of course must be sworn to, or afdavits made, before officers au- thorized by law to administer oaths. The Corporation Income Tax. Other blanks or forms are provided for corporations. These are designat- ed by numbers as follows: namely 1030, which is for the use of insurance <companies; 1031, for banks and other financtal institutions; 1032, for pub- lic service corporations; 1033, for manufacturing corporation: 1034, for mercantile corporations and 1035, for miscellaneous corporations. These forms contain on the back detailed in- structions as to the manner in which net income is to be computed, and de- | ductions are to be made for the pur- pose of the return In'the case of each class of corporations. The time for | making the return is March 1 next, as in the case of individuals, in case the return is based on the calendar year, or within 60 days after the ex- piration of the fiscal vear in case the return is made on the latter basis. Refund Method. There has been a belief that there is no oppertunity for an individual to 2%ye refunded an amount of in- the amount of the due on the net inceme. This Deputy Collector Theo- dore M. Byxbee declared Wednesday to be incorrect. The deputy collector illustrated his point with this hypo- thetical case: \ “In the case of a man who has a salary of $5,000 and an income from bonds of $9,000, the sum of $110 will be withheld at the source as a tax on his gross income, less his $3,000 ex- emption. If taxes, Interest and other expenses amounting to $2.000 make his net income $12,000, he is taxable only on this amount less the $3,000 exemp- tion, or $9,000. His tax is therefore only $90, although §110 has been with- held.” The individual makes his re- turn earlier in the year than the corporation does, and in his return the individual may claim the $20 ex- emption. 1In this case the internal revenue collector’s office will give him or her a special form to serve upon the withholding agency, and the $20 will not be withheld. It is to meet such situations as this, the deputy collector said, that the corporation re- turns are to be made later than those of_individuals, Under the treasury department reg- ulations concerning collection of the income tax, the deputy collector ex- plained. provision i smade that tha normal tax on the same income shall be withheld but once, and he gave as- surance that care will be taken that no individual has to pay more than once on his income. Mr. Byxbee ex- | plained that, in the past, the internal revenue office has had a special form on which returns were made for over- pavments for revenue stamps and a similar form will be provided for re- funding over-payments under the in- come tax law.
