Figuring your income tax on th'
1040 long-form is a little differen
from last year.
Last year you had to figure sep
arately your normal tax and YOU
surtax and then add them to get tn.
total tax due.e
This year, for purposes OF figuring
tax, the normal tax and the surta1
have been combined into one.
What you do now can be tole
simply in four main steps:
/. From your total income, yor
deduct your expenses.
2. From what's left, you deduct
your exemptions.
8. To what's left, you apply ths
combined normal tax and surtax.
4. Then you deduct per cent
from the amount OF tax. What's
left is the full tax you owe.
If your income was 5000 or more
you can take the $500 standard
deduction allowed every one for per.
sonal expenses. You don't itemize
If your deductions were more thar
$500, you can claim them but must
itemize them on page Of the
long-form.
Must Itemize Deductions.
People-with less than 5000
income-who use the 1910 long form

ard $500 deduction.
Here's how to fill out the long.
form, using an average person. Be.
fore you start, have beside you the
Governments instruction sheet
which goes with the long-form.
You, married, had two children
Your only 1916 income was $4,000
salary. Turn to page 3 Of the long
form where it says 'tax computa-
ton"
Line 1-Write your income, 5000
Line 2-Write your standard de-
duction, $780, Subtract the $500
from the $1,000 and write the result
$500 on line 3.
Line 4-Write $4,000, your total
exemptions, since they were $500
each for yourself, wife and two chill
dren. Subtract that from the ST SOC
on line and write the result, $5 500
on line S. (That $500 is your tax
able income. It's the income you
have left after subtracting your
deductions and exemptions from
your total $1,000 income0

the tax-table on the bottom of
page 4. Your taxable $500 will be
in the line where it says "over
$4,000 but not over $6,000."
Right across from that bracket
you see that the tax on the first
$4,000 of your taxable $500 is S840
plus 26 per cent Of the remaining
$500. or $500.
Adding the $500 to the $40, you
write the total tax, $1,230, on line
6, page of the long-form. But that
isn't the tax you have to pay.
There's another step.
You take S per cent of that
$1,23o-it's $61.50-and write the
s6150 OIL line 7. Subtract the $6l. so
from the 1890 on line 6 and write
the result, $1,168.50 on line 8.
That $1,168.50 Is your total tax,
the tax you must pay. But there
are few more steps.
Raises Alter Figures.
During 1946 you had had some
raises which brought your total sal
ary to $4,000. Those raises upset

New York. Jan. 21-Setting an
all time high goal of one million
members under the slogan Make
1t A Million, the NAACP has an
nounced the dates of its Annual
Nationwide Membership Camp
align to cover the months of April,
May and June.
In making the announcement,
the NAACP expressed confidence
that the goal would be attained,
although it represents a virtual
doubling of the membership of
535. 900 in 1916. Justifying this
confidence is the fact that each
year since the Nationwide Camp
aign idea was inaugurated three
years ago, in the spring of 1914.
the Associations growth has been
extraordinary. When it closed its
books at the end of 1912 the MA
ACP had slightly more than 10O,-
900 members, organized into over
three hundred units. In 1943, the
figure jumped to $4,000 then, in
the next years to 100000, $1,000
and. finally. more than half a mil
lion last year. Correspondingly.
the number of branches increased
until they reached a figure of 1,497
in 194e. including Youth Council
and College Chapter units.
Commenting on the ambitious
goal for this year Walter White,
executive secretary, NAACP, stat
ed:
"A goal Of one million members
of the lsAACP in 1947 is modest
if one LOOKS at the tasks which lie
ahead in winning full freedom for
the Negro. In the light of the ac-
conplishments during the year
lust ended. it is conservative. Es-

what real organization. experience
and public confidence can accom-
plish.
