Everyone who had taxes with
held should have such receipt
from his employer. It's called
Form W., a withholding state
ment. Some people will have
more than one such receipt be-
cause they worked for more than
one boss during the year.
In sending in your filled-out
Form 1040-A, you must attach a
copy of each Form W. given you.
On Form 1o40-A watch the
questions about your being blind
or IS in 1949. Be sure you make
the correct check mark.
$500 Exemption.
Every person filing a return
gets a 5000 exemption. But if he
was blind in 1949, he gets an ex-
ira $500 exemption, and if he was
65 in 1949, he gets still another
$500 exemption.

lYour Income Tax
Form 7O4O-A Used by Those
Who Earn Less Than SIS 900

Editors note: This is the
eighth OF IL articles explaining
Who must do 1Dhat and hoD
about his 1949 income tar re-
turnJ
By the Associated Press
This explains the use Of Form
1040-A in making your 1949 in
come tax return.
Just answer the questions on
THE form and send 1t to the in
ternal revenue collector. Don't
send any money with it. He'll
figure your tax for you.
If he finds you owe any money,
he'll notify you. You have 80
days after he notifies you to pay
up. If he finds you have refund
due because too much tax was
withheld. he'll send tito you.
Do you have any doubts wheth-
er you can use Form 1040-A? This
is the rule for using it:
Your total income in 1949 must
have been under $4,000 and all of
it-except for no more than $10O
untaxed income in wages, interest
or dividends-must have been in
wages or salary from which full
tax was withheld during the year.
Must Earn Less Than $4,000.
If you don't fit that rule, even
though your income was less than
$4,000, you can't use Form 1040-A.
You can use the 1040 short form
where you find your own tax in a
table on the back.
If your income was $4,000 or
more, no matter what kind Of
income, you can't use either Form
1040-A or the 1040 short form
You can use only the 1040 long
form and figure your own tax.
Example: You had $4,999.99 to-
tai income. All but $100 of it
had been in wages or salary from
which full tax was withheld. That
other 500 was in untaxed wages,
interest or dividends. You can
use Form 1040-A.
II that other untaxed income
in wages, dividends or inter-
est-had amounted to $101, even
though full tax was withheld from
the rest of your income, you
couldn't use Form 1040-A. But.
so long as the total income was
less than $4,000, you could use the
1040 short form.
When to Use Short Form.
And, even though your income
was under $4,000, if any of it
came from things like rents, or
fees or farming. you couldn't use
Form 1040-A. You'd have to use
the 1040 short form.
Since-in order to use Form
1040-A you must have had all,
or nearly all. the tax withheld
from you in 1949-you should
have receipts from your employer
showing just how much tax he
withheld and turned over to the
Government.
Evening star., 1950-02-21

him, or If she had no income
gets a $500 exemption for her.
plus another $500 if she was blind
in 1949, plus another $500 If she
was IS in 1949.
Be sure, though. that you list
every person you can justly claim
as a dependent.
A dependent is a close relative
who received more than half his
support from you in l949 and
whose income, if he had any, was
less than $500.
The rest of the problem of fill
ing out Form l040-A is simple.
And be sure-if you're making a
joint husband-Wife return-that
both of you sign it.
For more detailed explanations
on the problems of deducations,
exemptions, and husband-wife fil-
ing on Form 1040-A, see previous
stories in this series.

She is not sure. as who could be

the two plays. vanbrugh's jest

naturally, on this score but the

statement. In Last Holiday" he
plays a farm machinery salesman
who is told by a clinic doctor
that he has a rare and always
fatal disease and that he has
only a few weeks, at most few
months, left. Alone in the world,
he cashs in his life insurance,
collects his savings account.
chucks his job and goes off to
a posh resort hotel.
j. B. Priestley. who wrote the
original story and the screenplay,
puts irony to work Immediately.
His hero, a lonely man who never
had anything before, suddenly
has some friends. He is offered
jobs, wins on horse races, can't
lose at poker. softens the hearts
of a couple Of desirable women
and generally finds that every
thing in life is great. At one
point, when someone jokingly
wishes for rain. he looks aloft.
asks for rain and gets it right
in the face.
Mr.. Priestley has peopled the
hotel where this all takes place
with a wide assortment of char
acters, which he uses as targets
in making fun of number of as
poets of British life today. There
is a minister OF the Labour gov
ernment who is as pompous a
Colonel Blimp as the Tories ever
turned out. There is q loving Carl
cature Of one of those lusty. tweedy
dowagers of old Britain. There is
a wastrel young couple who are
accustomed to life In those sur
roundings but can't afford it.
There Is a newly-rich couple who
can afford that life but aren't ac-
customed to it.
Mr.. Guinness salesman Is in
volved in one way or another with
all of these and more as he lives
out the last days of mis- life and he
leaves his mark on them. He Is,
OF course, in an enviable position
in one respect; with no concern
for the future to hamper MIN, he
can speak his mind to any one
around. from government official
to Scottish millionaire to the beau-
tiful girl from a world he never
knew before.
There is a cheerful tone to most
Of Last Holiday" even though
the shadow of death hangs over
it. Thanks largely to Mr.. GUM
ness skillful playing you will find
yourself laughing happily at his
reactions to such things as chance
remarks about only living once.
You probably will be happy. too.
after a fashion. that Mr.. Priestley
keeps his opinion of the sort of
joke life is to the bitter end. He
does not. as Hollywood surely
would, allow his hero to find it
was all a mistake and live happily
ever after with the woman of his
choice. You might think for
awhile he is going to do that, but
then he throws in the ultimate
irony.
Director Henry Cass has put a
talented cast through it's PAGES in
support of Mr.. Guinness in his
comedy Of futility and fatality.
Key Walsh and Beatrice Campbell
are the most attractive of them
and they and all the others do
well by Mr.. Priestley's glib and
often witty screenplay.

only Americans and Californians

speaking it with the mellowness

Miss Matteson speaks it mel

This neglect. she feels, keeps us
