Your Federal Income Tax
COMPUTATION OF TAX


The tax Of your 1913 income tax
return is computed only after you
have listed your income and figured
out your deductions, exemptions,
and credits.
The actual computation Of the tax
is a STEP by-step procedure, which is
numbered and arranged carefully on
the form. Taxpayers will avaid I'm.
necessary Commissions If they take
the steps one at time, as directed
by the form and its accompanying
instructions.
For this one year, the form wiz
require an additional step because
Of the transition to the pay-as-you-
go system of income tax collection.
After computing the tax on your
1913 income, you must compare that
| figure with your tax for 1912 to find
which is larger and which is smaller.
Your actual tax for 1913 then, IL
you are Civilian, will be all Of the
larger figure plus an unforgiven
portion casually IS percenD Of the
smaller figure.
The procedure for computing the
tax on 1943 income is very different
on the two forms, short Form 1040A
and long Form 1040.
Short Form 1040A Because this
form can be used only by persons
whose gross income is not more than
s., 900 and all comes from wages and
a few other limited sources, it has
been possible to simplify the tax
computation. No figuring at all is
needed to find the regular income
tax (normal tax and SurtaX), be-
cause the tax is shown in a table
on the back of the form. For q 1943
return, it will be necessary, however,
to make calculation of net victory
tax, and the method of doing it is
shown at the bottom of the back
page.
Long Form 1910: The computa-
ton is shown in items / to 16 on
page 4 of the return. The normal
tax is flat 6 percent of the NOR
NAL tax net income; the surtaX is
at variable rates, depending upon
! the amount OF "surtaX net income.
the victory tax is flat percent up
on the excess of victory tax net in
come" over the victory tax specific
exemption, less a victory tax credit
which reduces the victory tax by
one-fourth or more according TO tho
marital status and the number Of
dependents of the taxpayer. Tho
sum of the three taxes less credits
for income tax paid to foreign
country or United States possession
dtem ID and income tax paid at
the source on taX-free covenant
bond interest dtem 15) constitutes
the balance OF the tax on 1943 in
come Qtem 16).
The difference between "surtaX
net income" and normal tax net
! income is "a the amount OF inter-
est received on Government obliga-
tions which is exempt from normal
! tax but subject to surtaX item D.
