FEDERAL INCOME TAX REPORTS
From January 1, 1924 To March Is,
1924, Is The Period For Filing
Department Asks That They
Be Made Early.

Let one of your New Years resolu-
tons be to file your income tax return
early. Forms for filing individual,
corporation, partnership, personal
service corporation, information, fidu-
ciary and other returns required by
the revenue act are now available at
the Office of Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, John w. Herring, and branch Of
fees.
The filing period is from January 1
to March Is, 1924.
Inaugurating the most progressive
and important step it has taken since
the initiation of the Income Tax Laws,
the Internal Revenue Bureau, after
months Of research work, has develop
ed a simplified income tax form which
Collector Herring declared would make
it as easy for the salaried or wage
earning taxpayer to prepare his re-
turn for the coming filing period as
it would be for him to fill in re-
quest for a postal money order or to
make out an application for employ
ment such as is required by the aver
age commercial concern.
Reduced from six pages to a single
sheet on which answers are required
to only three questions in relation to
income, Form 1O4OA has been revised

The taxpayer will receive both forms
for the reason that it is not possible
to determine at this time which form
is desired by the individual.
Failure to receive a form does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file his return AMI pay the tax on
time. A copy of the form desired may
be obtained on request, written or or
al, at the Office of Collector John W.
Herring, or any of the branch offices.
In view Of the fact that it is not
possible to determine, at this time,
the class Of return which will be re-
quired by 104OA taxpayers whose
names now appear on the lists of this
district, the collector has decided to
mail both blank forms 1040A and 1910
to all 1040A taxpayers. and the tax
payer can then select the proper form
on which to make his return.

in the interests Of the great majority
of taxpayers. The number of persons
affected by the adoption of the simpli-
fled form is shown by the fact that of
6,662,176 personal returns filed for the
calendar year 1921, 6,136,570 were re-
turned on Form 1040A. OF personal in

will use Form 1040A in reporting in
come for the calendar year 1923. Out
of total of approximately $4,000 who
will file returns in the district of Del
aware about 10000, it is estimated,
will use the new form.
Persons who use Form 104OA will
find the problem of correctly making
out an income tax return reduced to
minimum. The difficulties of the audit
also will be greatly lessened, thereby
expediting the work of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, and reducing the
cost of operating expense.
The new Form 1040A will be used
by taxpayers whose indi-
vidual net income is $4,000 or less,
coming principally from salaries and
wages, and was designed to meet the
almost universal criticism that the
income blanks were so complicated
that it required the services of
lawyer or an expert accountant to fill
