Form OF Return

Persons subject to the Federal
income tax must report their in
come to the Government on forms,
or blanks, prescribed by regula-
tions. These forms are obtainable
from any Collector of Internal
Revenue, and generally from any
bank. Special forms are designated
for corporations, for partnerships,
for trusts and fiduciaries, and for
nonresident aliens. Farmers who
keep no books of account on the
accrual method must attach a
special schedule 10 their return
(Form 1040F). For individuals,
two forms are used, depending
upon the amount and source of in
come to be reported.
Form 104O. This form is intend
ed for general use of individuals
who are citizens of the United
States, or residents in this country,
whether citizens or not. 1t con-
tains spaces to show the amount
of income from various sources, de-
ductions allowable, exemptions and
credits, and computation of tax
liability. AS most of the items re-
quire some explanation in order TO
be allowable, the form also con-
tains appropriate schedules to show
in more detail how the income or
the deductions are determined.
Form 104OA. This is simpli-
fed report, which may, at the op-
ton of the taxpayer who makes
his return on the cash basis, be
filed instead of form 1040 by citi-
zens and residents whose gross in
come was $4,000 or less during
1912 provided all this income con-
sists wholly of one or more of the
following: salary, wages, dividends,
interests, or annuities. In using
this form it is necessary only to
enter the amount of gross income
as shown, deduct the credit allow
able for dependents, ana insert the
appropriate amount of tax in ac-
cordance with ones personal ex-
enption status, as shown on the
table on the reverse of the form.
This form has no entries for de-
ductions allowable, since the taxes
indicated in the table on the back
of the form are computed after
taking into account what have been
considered average deductions for
persons of this income class.
A taxpayer should, therefore,
consider carefully which form
would be appropriate for his pur-
pose. Whichever form is employ
ed, all the information called for
in the spaces should be inserted so
far as applicable to the taxpayer,
in order to avoid the expense to the
Government, and the possible in
convenience to the taxpayer, of
subsequent check and inquiry.
With each return form is a set
of accompanying instructions, and
these instructions should be care
fully read by the taxpayer before
making his return.
Returns for the calendar year
1912 must be filed not later than
March Is, 1943. They may be
filed by mailing 30 the Collector of
Internal Revenue of the appro-
pirate district in which is located
the legal residence or principal
place of business of the taxpayer.
If the return is filed by mailing, it
should be posted in ample time to
reach the Collectors Office on or
before March 15, 1943. Returns
received later than the due date are
subject to a penalty variable ac-
cording to the lateness iii filing.

LIFE STORY OF BECKY, THE
LITTLE RED HEN

The following poem was written
by l4-year-old John Finch of Eu-
reka. 1t tells the life story of his
granddads pet hen, Becky, and of
her tragic ending. The poem is dedi-
Gated to the granddad, I. E. Finch.
This story handed down to me
Is one I'll ne'er forget;
Twas one adventure that my dad
Recalls with little regret.
Now Becky was dark red hen
That was priced above all things,
BY my granddad (for he wouldn't
sell her for a pair of diamond
rings)
On some days granddad's boys went
out to play
And delighted in throwing rocks,
Til they got to be expert marksmen
And their target was usually box.
One day as Becky strolled about
She came upon the boys,
AS they were earnestly. at their
game
With joyous mirth and noise.
Now Becky strolled mite too close
And sealed her own sad fate;
A streaking rock her head did split,
For to duck it was too late.
