Your Income Tax


D~NuSStoAA AOA 4Bou DCutSs
Bad debts constitute considerable
Item in the returns of many taxpayers
and may be treated in one of two
ways-either by deduction from gross
income in respect to debts ascertained
to be worthless either in whole or in
part or by a deduction of reasonable
addition to a reserve for bad debts.
Taxpayers were given an option for
1921 to select either of the two
methods.
The method used in the return for
1921 must be used in returns for sub
sequent years unless permission is
granted by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue to change to the other
method.
Application to change must be made
at least 80 days prior to the close Of
the taxable year for which the change
Is to be effective. However, taxpayer
filing first return in 1885 may select
either Of the two methods, subject to
the approval of the commissioner upon
examination of the return.
Permission to adopt the reserve
method is limited to taxpayers having
large number of accounts where
credit is extended over a considerable
period of time. It is not granted for
tie purpose Of handling one specific
debt.
What constitutes a reasonable ad-
dition" to reserve for bad debts
must be determined In the light Of
the facts and will vary as between
classes Of business and with condi-
tons of business prosperity.
A taxpayer using the reserve method
should show in his return the volume
Of charge sales Cor other business
transactions) for the year and the, per-
centage Of the reserve to such amount,
the total amount of notes and &C.
counts receivable at the beginning and
end of the taxable year and the total
amount Of debts ascertained to be
worthless and charged against the re-
serve during the taxable year.
For official advice on income tax
problems, call at Room 1902, Bureau
Of Internal Revenue, Twelfth street
and Constitution avenue, the Office
of the deputy collector of internal
revenue for this city, or write to the
collector Of internal revenue for your
home district.
