Births, Deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially
income tax returns for that year.
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption of 5000 in the par
ents' income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purpose of the
income tax law and are granted on
ly an exemption of $1,000, unless
the head of the family.
Persons who are divorced or sepa-
rated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on
December 81, 1920, determines the
mount of the exemptions. If IN
that day the taxpayer was married
md living with wife or husband
claim may be made for the $4,000
exemption. If single, or married
and not living with wife or hus-
band on December 81. the exemp-
tion is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings
for that period amounted to $1,000
or more, or $4,000 or more, accord
ing to their marital status. must
ale a return and pay tax on their
net income in excess of those
amounts.
To avoid penalty. the return must
be in the hands of the Collector OF
Internal Revenue for the district
in which the taxpayer lives. or has
his principal place of business, on
or before midnight of March l5'

INCOME TAX FACTS YOU SHOULD
KNOW

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has innumera5le sources for check
ing up persons who fail of "willfui-
ly refuse" to file an income tax re-
turn and pay the amount of tax
due.
One of these is the information
at source" provision of the revenue
act which requires that reports must
be made by all persons. trustees,
guardians. fiduciaries, and by par
tnerships, personal service corpora
tions and organizations, of pay
ments to others during the year 1920
of 1,0O0 or more. A separate re-
turn of Information for each en-
ployee whose salary is $1,000 or
more is required OF employers. The
return must show the name and ad-
dress of each recipient and the
amount paid.
These information returns which
are filed with the Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue at Washington, D..
c., are carefully checked with the
returns of individual income. II
John Doe, who has received salary
of $1,000 or more during the year
1920, has failed to report this pay
ment in his personal return, he will
hear from the internal revenue col
lector.
Thousands of elinauents have
been discovered and penalties and
taxes aggregating hundreds of thous-
sands of dollars have been collected
as the result of the audit.
