TO the ground.
What the attacker didn't

that a 1040-ES estimate has
been filed that is not more than
20 per cent under the tax you
owe on 1914 income-and that
your WithholdingS plus what you
have paid with estimates is
enough TO cover the estimated
tax obligation in full.
SAVE BOOKKEEPING
Now, if you choose to file your
actual tax return January Is,
instead of waiting until March
Is, you may omit the final 1040-
ES. In that way you can save a
bookkeeping chore. You can
make a final payment that is
correct, instead of having to
write another check March Is.
If you discover that you have
overpaid, you can avoid having
TO wait months, a year, or more,
for the Treasury to refund your
credit.
But there is one stumbling
block. Employers are not re-
CURED to provide the W. form,
the Withholding Receipt, until
January 81, and you can not file
your return until you have that
receipt, even though you know
what amounts will be on it.
The rush of year-end book
keeping and manpower shortage
will prevent many employers
from providing these receipts as
early as January Is.
If your W. form is too late
for you to file January Is, or if
you prefer to wait until March
Is, that is your privilege, with
out penalty-provided, and don't
forget this proviSo-
Provided that if you do not
file the final income tax return
by January Is, you must make
certain that by that date you
shall have filed tax estimate

20 per cent under what your
final tax will prove to be, and
that you shall have paid the total
shown by that estimate.
