HOW TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
IN REPORTING INCOME TAX

The period for the filing of income
tax returns covering the calendar year
1888 begins January and ends at mid
night of March Is. Within this period
are filed annually millions Of individual
income-tax returns, large proportion
OF which report income subject to the
tax. The latter contain a considerable
percentage of errors, which if uncor-
rected by the audit would result to the
disadvantage of the taxpayer. Many are
errors of computation easily discovered
on the face of the return, which usually
is accompanied by payment of more
than the amount of tax due. In other
returns it is readily discernible that the
taxpayer has failed to take advantage
of the personal exemption, credit al
lowed for dependents, or deductions
from gross income to which he is en-
titled.
To avoid these and other errors, the
Bureau of Internal Revenue urges care
full reading of the instructions on the
forms for filing the returns. Additional
information, if needed, may be obtained
at the office of collector of internal
revenue, deputy collector, or an internal
revenue agent in charge. Also, as
further aid in the preparation of cor
rect income-tax return for the year
1888, the Bureau has prepared series
of short newspaper articles. of which
this is the first, advising the salaried
man, wage Garner, professional and
business MANN fact every class of
individual tax payer of his require
ments and privileges as interpreted
under the latest regulations, rulings,
and decisions relating to the income
tax law.

Thirty Thousand Montana
People Expected to Dig
Up $500, 900.
SAYS WILL LESSEN
PROPERTY BURDEN

The sum of approximately $500, 900 i.
expected to be raised by new tax or
the people of Montana. Heretofore
Montana has not had a persoal income
tax law, but one is now in effect anc
it is expected that some $4,000 people
in the state will have to contribute
under this new mandate. Payment oil
this tax must be made by April Is
In 1882 it is said that 10000 Mon
tana people paid the federal income tax
but the state law is not SO liberal in its
exc options and many more will have to
contribute under it.
The revenue produced by this new
measure will be apportioned 10 per
cent to the state general fund, 20 per
cent to the common school interest and
income fund, 20 per cent to the common
school equalization fund and 20 per
cent to the emergency relief fund until
1885, says the Great Falls Tribune.
After March Is, 1885, revenues go
SO per cent to the general fund, rs per
cent to the common schools and Is per
cent to the school equalization fund $50
Discussing the new law, Dan J. Muir,
member of the equalization board
said
The purpose of the tax is to relieve
to some degree, if possible, the heavy
burden of property taxes.
Funds raised by the state income
tax are expected to reduce by cor
responding amount the direct tax levy.
In the collection of this tax, the board
expects to be fair and even patient,
but we propose to bring the penalties
into play against all who willfully
attempt to evade."
The measure provides, briefly, that
all individuals with net incomes in
1888 greater than $1,000 If single per-
sons, or $1,000 If married or the head
of family must file a return accom-
panied by a fee of 81.
Rates are / per cent upon the first
$1,000 of taxable income; per cent
upon the second $1,000; 3 per cent on
the next $1,000 and per cent upon the
still larger incomes.
In addition the measure calls for a
surtax, beginning with / per cent upon
that portion of income in brackets be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and increasing
to Is per cent upon taxable income in
excess of 100000
There are, Of course, certain exemp-
TONS but generally the state tax meas
ure is not SO liberal in this respect as
the federal law Muir pointed out
A pamphlet containing the law and
forms for reporting may be obtained
by application at the office of the state
board of equalization, he added
