Income-Tax Facts

January /, 1924, marks the begin
ming of the period for filing income-tax
returns for the year 1928. The period
ends at midnight of March Is, 1924.
Heavy penalties are provided by the
revenue act for failure or wilful refus-
al to make return and pay the tax on
time.
Form 104OA, heretofore used for re-
porting net income of $4,000 or less,
from whatever source derived, has been
revised in the interests of the largest
class of taxpayers-wage earners and
salaried persons. Reduced from six
pages to single sheet, Form 1040A
is to be used for reporting net income
of $4,000 and less derived chiefly from
salaries and wages. Persons any part
of whose income is derived from bust
ness or profession, farming, sale of
property or rent, though the amount
is SIS, 600 or less, will be required to use
the larger form, 1O4O. The use of Form
1O40, is required also in all cases where
the net income was in excess of 1000
regardless Of whether from salary,
business, profession or other taxable
source.
1t being impossible to determine at
this time which form is desired, copies
Of both forms will be sent taxpayers
who filed individual returns for the
year 1922, and may be obtained also
at the Offices Of collectors of internal
revenue aud branch offices upon writ
ten request. E
