e THE LONG FORM
How TO Fill II Out

John Jones is a foreman
and, because he had more
than the ordinary deductions,
he elected TO use the treasury
departments long form to file
his estimated tax return for
1874.
He entered his sole source of
income on line ] in both regular
and victory tax columns, adding
nothing for interest, dividends
in subsequent lines. Deductions
were estimated at approximately
the rates he used in his 1913
return and totals were entered
in the income tax column on
lines IL, II, 13 and Ia. Esh-
mated income, less deductions,
gave him his income tax net in
come of $500
In computing the tax, Jones
took credit for Sl,550 in exemp-
tons because he was married and
had one child, so that his taxable
income aggregated S2.279-
Turning to the Taxable he
learned that he owed $3.50 on the
first $1,000 and y per cent on the
S279 balance for a total of $44l.3S.
Because ne had neither capital
gains or federal securities, he
merely carried this figure 10 the

tory tax incomes) and learned
that he earned s., SIS. His victory
tax figured at 3 per cent, tot6ied
S11064, and together with his
regular tax, gave MIN total Of
SS52 or.
At this point, he switched from
the work sheet to the small form
1040-ES. which is to be filed with
the collector. Jones entered the
estimated total tax, subtracted the
amount he anticipated would be
withheld from has wages by his
employer, and found there would
be a balance ewed of SllS.0S. Be
cause thiS-is~tris first quarterly
estimate, he merely paid one
fourth of that amount at this
time. He may amend his return
in each subsequent quarter, if
necessary.
