Did You Earn This Much9

Every unmarried person who re
ceived income averaging S19.25 week
during 1918 and every married couple
who Jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A.
That form contains the Information he
will need TO enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the government.
The law requires that every unmar
ried person who had net income Of
$1,000 or over and every married per
son whose net Income was $1,000 or
over (ncluding the income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, If any must make a return
on or before March 18th. And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether

Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption As in previous years, diyi-
dends Of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stockholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income In excess of
the credits the rate is per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate ~
l. per cent
The surtax rates apply to net ia
come of each individual In excess of
$4,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the case of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net in-
come Of each is considered separately
in computing any surtax that may be
due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $1,000, and the instructions on that
form win show how to figure the saP-
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and others who paid
wages, salaries, rents, interest or sim
liar determinable gains in an amount
Of $1,000 or over during 1918 to any
person must file an information return

How TO Figure Your Tax

"Don't wait until fhe final due date,
March u, for payipg your Income Tax
and making your return. Avoid the
last minute rush. ANY person can fig-
ure out his liability today as well as he
can next week, and il there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now ger if touch with Revenue man."
This word Of advice IS from William
G. Whaley, Collector of Internal Reve-
nue., Helena, Mont, who is collecting
the Income Tax in Montana, Idaho and
Utah. Collector Whaley is giving with
out charge every aid of his Office and
his enlarged field force to help the peo-
pie get their payments and their rs
turns in by March 10Th.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your coat-tails,
according to the Collectors announce
ment. 1t is squarely up to every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
