FRIDAY. JANUARY Q, 1922.
Time Is Near For filing
of Income Return


The following statement has
been issued at Richmond by Coll
lector of Internal Revenue John
c. Noel, of the district of Va.
With the approach of theI
period for filing income tax re-
turn $. January l to March IS,
1922, taxpayers are advised toI
lose no time in the compilation
oftheir accounts for the year 1921
A new and important provision
of the revenue act of 1921 is that
every person whose gross income
for 1921 was $4,000 or over shall
file return, regardless of the
amosnt of net income upon
which the tax is assessed. Re-
turns are required of every mar
ried person living with husband
or wife whose net income was 81
900 or over, and every single per-
son whose net income was 81, 900
or over. Widows and Widowers
and persons separated or divorced
from husband or wife, are re-
garded as single persons.
Net income is gross income,
less certain deductions for busi-
ness expenses, losses, taxes, etc.
Gross income includes practically
all income received by the tax
payer during the wear; in the
case of the wage Garner, salaries,
wages, bonuses and commissions;
in the case Of professional men,
all amounts received for profess
ional services; in the cases of far
mers, all profits from sale of farm
products, and rental or sale of
land.
SOME HELPFUL QUESTIONS
III making out the income tax
return for the year 1921, every
taxpayer should present himself
the following questions:
What were your profits from
your business, trade, profession
or vocation?
Did you receive any interest en-
bank deposits?
Have you any property fir o M
which you received rents?
Did you receive any income in
the form of dividend or interest
from stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses
during the year?
Did you make any profit on the
sale of stocks, bonds, or other
property, real or personal?
Did you act as broker in any
transaction from which you re
ceived commission?
Did you receive any directors
fees or trustees fees in the course
of che year?
Are you interested in any
partnership or other firm from
which you received any income?
Have you any income from roy
alties or patents?
Have you any minor children
who are working7
Do you appropriate, or have
you the right to appropriate, the
earnings of such children? If SO.
the amount must be included in
the return of income.
has your vile any income from
any source whatsoever? If so, it'll
must be included in your return
or reported in a separate return
of income.
Did You hold any office in a
benefit society from which you
received income?
Answers to all of these ques-
tons are necessary to determine
whether person has an income
sufficiently large to require that
return be filed, aud may be the
means of avoiding the heavy
penalties imposed for failure to
do SO within the ii me prescribed.
