The Retail Merchants Associ-

today to tell customers It 'proba-

show sales receipts when deduct
ing state sales taxes on their
federal income tax forms.
Charles f. Boyd, secretary OF
the association, said the announce
ment was made because OF the
misunderstanding prevalent that
some proof would be needed as
to the amount OF tax paid during
the taxable year.
II was pointed out that. where
sales tax deductions are made
within reason, no proof will be
required. Many customers Boyd
explained, have requested receipts
for all sales for the entire year.

Boyd announced that no Christ
