payer at the time the taxes in ques-
ton were paid
Q--What has been your experience
concerning the shifting" Of taxes from
one year to another?
Alt sometimes happens that after
tax return Is filed the taxpayer will
present claim for refund as provided
by law, contending that certain income
or deductions belong in a different
year from that reported on the return,
or the bureau may make this finding
in the course of its examination. Where
1t is found necessary, under the law
to shift certain income or deductions
between years, this shifting will cause
an underpayment of tax in one year
and an overpayment in another.
have had a check made of a large
group of cases involving shifts of in
come or deductions to see how this
works out from the practical angle.
This check shows that overpayments
amounted to S23. .427, ,246.40, while the
deficiencies amounted to 24,577 ,301 / .
the net result being in favor of the
Government to the extent OF $780,
0547l.
Q.-Mr. Burnet, 1t is said that many
of the large refunds are the result of
court decisions or changes in legisla-
ton. Perhaps you would care to cite
an example of a decision by a court
that has occasioned large refunds.
A-YeS, Mr.. Kuhn, I recall such
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Life insurance COM
panies claimed that a provision of law
resulted in tax upon the income
from tax-exempt securities, and that
it was unconstitutional. The court
sustained the taxpayers contention,
and we refunded to insurance COM
panies approximately 35,000,O00.
Congress has at various times passed
retroactive legislation which changed
or modified the provisions of prior leg
islation. These changes often made
necessary the refunding Of taxes. An
example is found In the various acts
where Congress validated the taxpay-
ers' claims for refund or credit which
had been filed too late under the previ-
Gus acts.
Other items producing refunds are
final adjustments of allowances for
depreciation and obsolescence, for de-
pletion OF natural resources, inventory
errors prior year losses, valuations OF
properties, credit for foreign taxes,
non-taXable income, amortization of
war facilities, changes in invested cap
ital, affiliation changes and so forth.
Q-Mr Commissioner, could you
give us an idea of the amount of re-
funds made to taxpayers compared with
the amount collected?
A-The percentage of refunds to
taxes paid is very, very small. Over a
period of Is years. it has been less than
per cent of the total tax paid. In
these years nearly $4,000, 900 900 in
revenue have been collected, while less
than 81 $50 000, 900 have been refunded.
To have clear understanding of the
whole situation, the radio audience
should realize that while we sometimes
refund large sums, we are at the same
time collecting very large sums in addi-
tional taxes. The figures covering the
Evening star., 1932-03-01
to two years. The progress prior to

to two years. The progress prior to
that period had permitted us to rec
ommend the change first from q five
to four year period. then from the four
to a three year period. Our field men
have so qualified themselves as to
justify the authority that we have
vested in them to close any type of
case that comes before them. At the
same time. We have, of course, pre-
served to the taxpayer his right of ap-
peal to the Washington authorities.
We. in the bureau. have the most
complete confidence in the forces OF
collectors of internal revenue and of
revenue agents in charge. That they
are today closing without protest by
taxpayers more than 88 per cent Of
all returns handled by them Is proof
that they have also won the confidence
of the taxpaying public, who find these
representatives of the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue as Jealous to protect
the taxpayers interests as to protect
the interests OF the Government. As
an illustration Of the success Of our
policy. may state that the total num-
peare @ % 1eT7 e te 1919 % incinsiVe ~ was aS 7oe S
236,762, Of which there remain in the
bureau for original audit but 1856.
Q.-Mr. Commissioner, you may wish
to offer some sound advice to those of
us who should file returns of income
for 1881 between now and the 18th OF
March.
Any advice to every one from
whom an income tax return Is due Is
to file that return with the collector
Of internal revenue at the earliest pos
sible date, in any event not later than
March IS. The return should be pre-
pared in accordance with existing law
and regulations. Regardless of the
discussions in Congress on the subject
of new revenue law, income tax re-
turns must be filed on or before the
18th Of March. most earnestly rec
ommend to my audience that you care
fully read the instructions upon the
return form itself. If you are in doubt
as to whether you should file return
or as to any item, consult you collector
of internal revenue, or revenue agent
in charge, or any available employe of
the bureau. Any taxpayer who will
give the preparation of his income tax
return the utmost care, and secure ad-
vice from the Offices of the collectors
or agents in charge on points about
which he Is doubtful, will render the
greatest dlO TO DlInSelI anu Ills GON-
ernment by making the most accurate
income tax return Of which he Is capa-
BILE. You are aiding the Government
to reduce costs when you take all pos
sible precautions to file an accurate
return.
Mr. Kuhn-Tnank you, Mr.. Burnet.
I am sure the people Of the United
States now have a clearer conception
of the gigantic task of your division

least complicated type of cases. More
often than you would suspect, our peo-
| pie will find that a taxpayer has made
a simple mathematical error. His
addition or subtraction Is erroneous.
His computation of the tax may be
inaccurate. He will fail to take ap-
| propriate deduction on account of his
marital status, or on account of de-
pendents. We do not require that
claims be filed for the return Of these
overpayments, and In many thousands
of cases, but for our. routine investiga-
tion Of the return, the taxpayer would
never recover his money. For the cal
endar year 1891 refunds of this nature
were made to 58,2e6 taxpayers
Q-Once each year there is made
public and circulated through the press
of the country the names of taxpayers
who have received refunds of taxes
from the Government and the amounts
of money paid back to them. 1t is also
known that the Government collects
large amounts of additional tax. Could
you give us some explanation of why
the Federal tax collecting system so
operates as to result in the refunding
of overpayments and the collecting Of
additional taxes?
Al am glad you have asked this
question. ! realize from inquiries that
have come to me personally that many
persons are interested in this matter
The inquiries which have received in
dicate that tax refunds attract more
0kt lln. II a..
deficiencies. The fact that the Gov
ernment finds it necessary to collect
additional taxes seems to be taken for
granted and accepted as a matter of
course, while the amounts which it re-
funds give rise to questions as to the
cause of these refunds.
The income tax statutes demand the
immediate payment of taxes. The Fed
eral tax procedure is, therefore, based
on the plan that payment must be
made in whole or in part when the
return is filed Then the question of
controversial items is taken up for set
tlement. If upon examination the tax
return is found to be correct, there will,
of course, be no overpayment and no
deficiency. If, however, the tax shown
on the return and paid is found to be
overstated, this will call for refund
or credit of the excess; while if it is
found that the taxes are understated,
the Government must assess and COL
lect the deficiency If the citizen who
has overpaid his tax does not owe the
Government money for another year,
the overpayment is refunded by check.
If the taxpayer does owe the Govern
ment money, the accounts are settled
through the simple process of offsetting
the overpayment against the deficiency.
After this is done, there may be, of
course. a balance due to either the
Government or the taxpayer.
The bureau records show that by
far the larger part of the overpayments
are due to causes beyond the control
| Of either the Government or the tax

! or municipal officers Of their RESPONSE
bilitv for the enforcement of State laws.
o-Do the principal members of
the Capone organization wear a ne
culiar diamond belt buckle to indicate
their connection with that organiza
| ton?
! Ave know that Al Capone bought
an diamond belt buckles for S275 each
ON one occasion and that they were
presented to various lieutenants in his
organization, also to some prominent
nersons in Chicago. The associates of
Capone were frequently seen wearing
these diamond belt buckles His body9
guard. Philip D'Andrea, who was ar
rested in the court room for carving
! loaded revolver, wore one OF these
buckles. This purchase of these belt
buckles was established by witnesses
during the income tax case.
O-Mr Burnet, does you work in
connection with these Chicago cases
cause you to lose faith In the honesty
of the American people?
Any answer to that with all the
sincerity of which am capable IS
that have no such feeling with re-
spect TO the great body of American
| taxpayers. In mentioning the Capone
case I do not want my radio listeners
to feel that the bureau has any other
thought than that 80 and 99-lOOths
per cent OF the taxpayers are Scrupu-
| lously honest. 1t Is my constant aim.
as well as that Of the bureaus repre-
sentatives wherever stationed, to put
forth every effort to develop and main
tain the good will and confidence which
now exist between the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue and the taxpaying
public.
Q-Mr. Commissioner, there is an
other matter I want to ask you about.
I understand that you advocate the
settlement of tax cases in the field,
and to that end a plan of decen-
tralizing the force of the bureau has
been under way. Just how does the
taxpayer benefit by this plan?
A.-At the outset, 1t seems to me to
be obvious that since the tax applies
alike to people in California, in Florida,
and, of course, in all the territory Of
the United States, much time and ex-
pense will be saved to taxpayers If
they have the opportunity to settle
their cases with representatives of the
department located in points nearer to
their homes. So. during the past seven
or eight years, the plan of taking the
bureau to the taxpayer has gone along
steadily. This move has contributed
more than any other one factor to our
ability to become more current with
our work. 1t enabled the department.

Grafton, to recommend that the period
of limitation for the assessment of
additional taxes and for the determina-
ton of refunds be decreased from three

Enttnrtal

One of the detectives of the Libby
school administration is that each stu
dent shall be given an opportunity for
self-expression through the medium of
an operetta, or in the activities of the
defamation department.
The Annual Antics program Friday
night revealed the splendid manner in
which the students respond to an OPP
portunity for self expression. And the
results of the training for this occa-
sion were gratifying to the directors
who gave Of their time and effort to
make the affair a success, to the
mothers who cooperated in providing
costumes, and to the audience which
enjoyed the presentation.
The display of rugs and quilts,
which was sponsored by the Women's
club, was especially attractive, and re-
vealed the spirit of cooperation Which
is evident among the townspeople, and
the faculty and student bodies.
Libby high school is grateful to all
those who aided in making this event
a pleasurable and profitable one.
