May Change Date For
Filling Pay Estimates
Delay In Tax Bill Passage
May Fix April Is
For DeadIine

You may not have to tell Uncle
Sam on March Is how much you
expect to make in 1914, the present
date for the information.
Delay in passing the new tax
bill is expected to result in post
ponement of the preliminary return
date until about April Is, revenue
officials said last Saturday.
The pOstponement, however, does
not mean delay in filing returns
for 1943 taxes and the unforgiven
part of 1942 taxes.
Until the new bill is passed, 1t
will be impossible for the internal
revenue bureau to prepare the
necessary forms for estimating 1914
income. Since the bill is not ex-
peeted to be passed and signed un-
til about February l.. officials said
it would be impossible to have the
forms printed, mailed, and in the
hands of the taxpayers by March
is.
