of the forms possible to file this
year, and needs no cash payment at
the time of filing. The collector
figures out the tax later. and mails
bill to the one who filed it.
While VIZ may be used as an
income tax return, when filed alone,
it is not required to be filed along
with the larger form l040, this year,
as was necessary last year. The
information provided as to wages
and withheld taxes may be copied
this year from the W. form and
filled in on form 1040, and the 1040
form may be filed without the w..
Only One Form This Year.
So much trouble was experienced
last year by the revenue Offices in
handling the two different forms,
that it was decided to have the
taxpayer file only one of them this
year.
To the surprise of many, they are
receiving in the mail checks for re-
fund of taxes which were over
withheld last year. The collectors
offices are speeding these refunds
for the help of the taxpayer him
self, and also to prevent the Gov
eminent from having to pay inter-
est to the taxpayer on the amount
of overpayment.
There are three different forms
available to the average Washing
tonian who makes 5000 or less in
year. Simplest is the Wa. Then
there is short form 1040, by which
the taxpayer may use big table to
calculate his exact tax, without hav-
ing to compute details of his de-
auctions. In the third place, people
with more than 5000 income, which
goes higher than the tax computing
table, or people with complications
of high deductions, or outside in
come from which there was no with
holding, must fill out the complete
form.
Experts estimate that the forms
this year are simpler and more
easily understood than any turned
out by the Treasury Department
since the pay-as-you-go system went
into effect.
BY mail the returns and tax due
may be sent from the District of
Columbia, and Maryland. to the
Collector of Internal Revenue, Bal
timore. Md, and from Virginia, to
the Collector at Richmond, Va.

Up to June 30, a total of 15,l04

disallowed, 600 are pending and l79
have been terminated through death
or other circumstances. Most of
the claims pending adjudication are
awaiting additional information,
physical examination or service
records
Mr. LaWlor urges veterans who
believe they are entitled 10 a dis
ability pension to file their claims
within one year from the date of
their discharge, because payments
of disability claims filed within
the one year period normally be-
gin from the date of the veteran
discharge where his entitlement isl

is filed
