Internal Revenue Staff
To Work Overtime 10
Help on Declarations

To help taxpayers make out their
new declaration" of income and
victory taxes due Wednesday, the
local Office of deputy collector Of in
ternal revenue will remain open
later during the next three days, it
was announced last night.
The Office, at Room 1902, Revenue
Building, Twelfth street and Con-
stitution avenue NV, will be open
from $3.50 am. to pm. tomorrow
and Tuesday and from $50 am. to
midnight Wednesday,
A staff of more than 140 experts
will be on hand to assist taxpayers
to make out their declarations.
These experts have advised more
than 10000 persons on the new form
since September /.
Third Installment Cancelled.
Many people, it developed last
night. have had the mistaken no.
ton that they still owe the third
instalment on the 1912 income tax
and should pay the same amount
September Is as they did on March
Is and June Is. Under provisions
Of the new pay-as-you-go income
tax, however, the new declaration"
which is due Wednesday midnight,
along with whatever tax payment it
calls for. will take the place of the
third regular quarterly payment.
Many persons whose withhold
Ing" from their pay envelopes is
large enough will not have to pay
any tax on Wednesday. Revenue
officials estimate that only about
one-third of the income taxpayers
will have to file the new declara-
ton, and pay the excess tax called
for. The other two-thirds will be
taken care of by the withholding
from their regular salaries or wages.
Experts in the Office have been
patient and courteous in helping
taxpayers with their new problem,
which for the first time in the
history Of the. income tax involves
a guessing game in that it requires
an estimate of how much income
will be earned, and how much tax
will be due for this entire current
calendar year, 1943.
Certain Groups Must File.
Generally speaking, those who are
obliged to file, are single persons
subject to withholding who earn
over $2,7o0 year; married people,
subject to withholding. who earn
over $4,000, and people with esti-
mated income sufficient to require
the filing of an income tax return
including over sioo from sources
other than salary or wages subject
to Withholding.
Professional persons. such as law
yers doctors, dentists, farm help
and domestic help, are among those
not subject to withholding and
must file the declaration If they
come within the required brackets
Of income.
Since this is the last Sunday be-
fore the deadline Wednesday mid
night, it is expected thousands of
persons throughout this area will
spend hours over their tax problems.
File Here or in Baltimore.
The declarations may be in per-
son at the local Office of deputy COL
lector in the Revenue Building, or
may be mailed to the Collector of
Internal Revenue, Baltimore, Md,
headquarters for this area.
Because the so-called long form"
or alternative" worksheet for those
with large incomes had inadvert-
emily omitted the figures on personal
exemptions, The Star reprints these
exemptions as follows: $500 for
single person. 81 200 for married per-
sons and $3.50 for each dependent.
