reports immediately, if he has not already done so.'
 Legal Obligation
 The Collector feels that the filing of returns is legal as well as social obligation, which must be met by employers If these returns are not filed, and if his force is obliged to relinquish other duties to secure the returns, the Collec- tor feels there can be no compro- mise if penalties follow.
 MT. Henricksen explained that under the provisions of the Social Security Act, the employer is re- quired to send periodically to the Collector of Internal Revenue, state ments showing the number of work CTS in his employ and the wages he paid them in specified periods. In 1937. the year was divided into two reporting periods of six months each. There are nearly 37,00000O employees throughout the United States who are accruing old-age benefits under Title VIII of the Federal Social Security Act, as in dicated by the number of wage re- ports filed with the Collectors for the first six months of 1887 The wage reports for the second six-months period should have reached the Col lector's Office by January 31, 1888
 Returns Transmitted
 These wage reports made out on Internal Revenue forms, known as Forms SS-2 and SS-2a, are trans mitted by the Collector of Internal Revenue to the Operations Section of the Social Security Board at Bal 1 timore, the information contained in them being made the basis of the wage accounts which are being kept for the 37,OO0,00O wage earners in industry and commerce Without this l information, MT. Hendricksen ex- plained, it would be impossible fol the Social Security Board to credit an employee with the amount oi wages he had earned and with this gap in his record, there would be a consequent reduction in the amount of insurance which he ultimately will receive, since this amount is determined by the total amount oi wages he has been paid.
 i The Acting Collector advised that wage report Forms SS-2 and SS-2a had been mailed to taxpayers, but that additional forms could be ob- tained by calling or writing to his office in Tacoma.

Claim Employers
 Are Not Making
 Certain Returns
Reports of Taxable Wages Paid to Employees
 Are Not Filed

The U. ,, ouTedu Ol luteiiidl Revenue at Washington, DC, has expressed its concern to Internal Revenue Acting Collector Thor w. Henricksen over the large percea- tage of employers in Washington and Alaska who have not yet filed reports showing taxable wages paid to employees from July l, 1937 to December 31, 1887, as required un- der the Federal Social Security Act. Of 27,500 employers subject to Title VIII of the Federal Social Security Act, approximately II percent have failed to file returns on Forms SS- 2 and SS-2a V T the Collector for this period. Tlsse figures are sig nificant, as the employers who have failed to file these information re- turns have in their employ approxi- mately 50.660 persons for whom no wage reports have been received.
 The Collector pointed out it is to the interest of the employer, as well as employee, to have this in formation sent to the Collector without further delay Employers will save themselves the necessity of having to make explanations to their employees or survivors of de- ceased employees, and will cut down cn the need of further conference with government officials if they are now prompt in submitting these reports to the U. s. Collector of h. ternal Revenue.
 Old-Age Benefits
 Acting Collector Henricksen point ed out that to receive old-age bene- fits under the provisions of the Social Security Act, it is necessary that an employee be credited on the records of the Social Security Board with the amount of wages he has earned. He pointed out that the information concerning the amount of wages paid an employee is required by the government in order to calculate the benefits under old-age insurance which the Gov ernment has obligated itself to pay workers when they reach the age of 65, or to their estates in the event of their death It is therefore important to the employee that the taxes deducted from his wages by the employer and the amount ot taxable wages he receives are promptly reported to the Collector of Internal Revenue.
 Penalty
 Section 807 of the Social Secur- ity Act provides penalties up to s10,- 900 for willful failure to make re- turns or supply such informa tion required by law and regulation, saio MT. Henricksen, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue does not be- lieve that many employers have de- liberately withheld these reports On the contrary, it is convinced tha, most of the delinquencies can be laid to lack of familiarity with the l terms of the law-mostly among employers of only a few persons ano that when they understand that their employees can receive no old age benefits until the delinquent returns are filed, immediate actior will be taken. It would seem that employers would be acting in theh best interest, as well as their em. ployees to file these returns at once Every employer who has one or more employees should file these wage
