How IS the tax computed?
Persons whose estimated in

one OF two work sheets. The first
Is simpIfed form, containing a
table which allows the taxpayer
10 quickly compute his ;ax.
The table makes allowance for
earned income credit and for such
deductions as interest, taxes and
contributions.
The other form permits a more
precise computation of estimated
TAX. This is intended largely how
ever for those over the $1,000
income bracket or taxpayers who
expect 20 list unusually large
deductions.
In either case. an amended dec
laration may be filed Dec. -. and
adjustments m estimates and pay
mentS may be then made. When
final and accurate return is filed
next March -. credits or refunds
viii be made If there have been
overpaymentS.
Having estimated his total IN
come AND calculated his victory
tax for this year. the taxpayer
then compares this amount with
his 1912 tax and enters the larger
figure on line ] OF the declara-
ton form 10i0-ES.
From the estimated total tax
