Provides Heavy Penalties.

The man who thinks to evade the tax,
officials declare. is making a serious er-
ror, and when discovered will be sub
jected to heavy penalties.
For failure to file the return on time
the penalty is a fine of not less than $40
nor more than $1,000, and in addition
so per cent Of the amount of tax due.
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn the penalty is a fine not exceeding
$4,000. or not exceeding one years inn
prisonment. or both, and 100 per cent of
the tax due For failing to pay the tax
on time the penalty is an assessment
of 5 per cent of the amount of tax due
plus 1 per cent interest for each full
month during which it remains unpaid.
1t should be impressed upon the pub
lie that while the government experts
at the Legal building are Offering their
services without cost, failure to see
them does not relieve persons subject
to the tax of their duty to file their re-
turns within the time prescribed. The
government is not required to seek the
taxpayer. The taxpayer must seek the
government.

Not as Bad as They Look.

Not as Bad as They Look.
Income tax experts at the banks and
trust companies think it advisable for
those who have to pay income taxes to
read the forms carefully. arguing that
they are not half as bad as they look,
but that the information they furnish,
II on separate sheet would be well
coined as Of great assistance in prepar-
ing schedules.
They are comparatively simple" is
the way one bank man put it, and
the little form 1040 A should be read
oetore the 1040 blanks, the former max
ing IL just that much easier to obtain a
good understanding of the larger form -
Prepare for Payments.
The Treasury Department urges
| banks and others that they continually
keep their clients mindful of the wis
dom of making preparations to meet
the income tax payments and do not
wait until just before the date of pay
| ment, June 15. 1918, in order to avoid
disturbance and congestion of credit,
which would inevitably be caused by
waiting 4ntN the time for payment
before borrowing or drawing too heavi-
, ly at one time on bank balances
District of Columbia taxes, Intangible
tax. income tax and the campaign for
the third liberty loan are ali matters
of financing in the not distant future.
Prepare for the payments with least
disturbance of banking resources and
credits.

Persons in Doubt as to Proper Method Of
Making Returns to Government to

the sum Of these taxes added together.
Under the act Of 1916 the normal rate
OF tax is per cent on Incomes of
married persons in excess Of 81 900 and
on incomes of single persons in ex-
cess of $4,000. For example. married
man with an income of $4,000 must pay
a tax Of $50 and a single man a tax of
hoS soo This b a per cent On dao the an n
under the act Of 1917 and per cent on
the amount above his exemption Of
$4,000 (s500) under the act of 1916.
Returns must be filed on or before
absence from home Washington tax
payer may obtain an extension of thirty
days by fling a written application
with Collector Miles at Baltimore be-
fore March 1. Collectors Of internal
revenue are not authorized to grant
extensions of more than thirty days.
but this authority is granted the
commissioner of internal revenue in
meritorious cases. If such extension is
desired the request addressed to the
should contain a detailed statement
covering the reasons which make 1t
impossible for the taxpayer to file his
return on on or before March /.
Paid in Insta11ments.
Payment must be made on or before
June Is. 1918. Under a ruling of the
/
pay in four insta1lments, the first OF
which must be made on or before Janu-
ary 30, the second on or before Febru-
ary 2S. the third on or before April 30
and the fourth on or before June 10.
Advance payments are credited with
interest at the rate of per cent
year from the date of payment to June
Is, which interest is deductible from
the total amount due. Many Wash
ingtonians are taking advantage OF
this by paying the whole Of the tax in
advance or are arranging for payment
by installments.
Several inquiries have been made
concerning the governments method
of ascertaining whether persons sub
ject to the law have complied with its
requirement. The answer is that the
bureau of internal revenue has check
ing system by which it will be inform
ed of delinquents. The information at
source" provision will provide the gov
ernment with many complete returns.
In accordance with this every individ-
ual, firm or corporation is required to
file with the commissioner of internal
revenue a true and accurate report of
payments made IN salary, wages, inter-
est, commissions, rentals, ETC., of $500
or more during the year 1917, together
with the names and addresses Of per-
sons to whom such payments were
made.
