INCOME TAX SEASON
is NOW UNDER WAY
Annual Returns for the Year
1919 to be Figured Until
Night of March Is.

Austin, Textile office of collect
or of internal revenue publicity divis-
lon has issued the following statement.
The federal income tax season opens
with the distribution of the forms for
personal returns from the office of col
lector of internal revenue, Austin, Tex.
From now until the bell rings on
the night of March Is, the annual re-
turns covering income for 1919 will be
figured out and filed by citizens and
residents, together with payment of
tax due
The burden of fulfilling this obliga-
ton is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders of those who are American
citizens or residents. Every person
must determine for himself whether
his net income for 1919, figured &C
cording to the revenue law, was suf-
ficient in amount to require return.
If he is single return is required II
his net income for 1919 was $1,000 or
over. A widow or widower is classed
as single person. A man or woman
is also classed as a single person.
If he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 81, a return is re-
quired if his net income for 1919 was
$4,000 or over In his net income he
must include that of his wife and
minor children, If any.
If tax is due on his return, he must
make payment with his return. This
payment may be made in whole or in
part of the tax due. At least one
quarter of the tax must accompany the
return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight Of March Is, or he is
classed as delinquent and is subject
to severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed for
personal returns. Form 1040-A is in
tended for use by person whose net
income does not exceed $4,000. A
larger form, 1040, is intended for each
person having a net income in excess
of $4,000. Both of these forms are
now obtainable at internal revenue Of
fees and at some banks. 1t is urged
by the internal revenue bureau that
taxpayers obtain their blanks at once.
Failure to have a blank form at hand
for an eleventhhour return will not
relieve a person of penalty for fail
ure to comply with the law.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return, and
these should be carefully read and
strictly observed.
There is also provided work
sheet" which should be used for max
ing the original computations, and
which should be retained and preserv
ed by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case
should bring such matters to the at
tention of the nearest deputy collect
or or revenue agent, who will render
every necessary aid without charge.
When the return is Completed, it
should be properly executed and i'm
mediately filed with the collector of
internal revenue, Austin, Tex. Any in
ternal revenue officer will administer
the necessary oath without charge.
1t is pointed out that accuracy in
compiling the return is absolutely nee
essary. Mere guesses and estimates
as to income and deductions should be
avoided and actual facts and amounts
should be set forth And this is equal
ly important in considering the Ques-
ZION ~ whether q return ia renuired
