gle sheet on which answers are re-
quired to only three questions in
relation to income, Form 1040 has
been revised in the interests Of the
great majority Of taxpayers. The
number of persons affected by the
adoption of Of the simplified form is
shown by the act that of $685. 76

dar year 1921, 6,136,570 were re-
turned on Form 104OA. Of personal
income amounting to $13, 5,434,-
