Choice of Form in Making Return Is Easy to Decide

allowed by law, like hospital bills
or charitable contributions.
He doesn't have to claim it. II
he uses the table on the 1040 short
form to find his tax, the deduc-
ton already is allowed for in the
table.
If he uses form 1040-A, letting
the collector figure the tax for
him. the deduction already is al
lowed for in the table the collec-
tor uses to figure the tax.
But suppose your deductible ex-
penses actually ran to more than
10 per cent. although your in
come was under $1,000.
May Claim All Deductions.
In that case you would lose
money by using form 1040-A or
the 1040 short form. Instead use
the 1040 long form.
There, although you have to GO

1040 long form. the 1040 short
form and Form 1040-A.
Form 1o40. a four-page job, is
called the long form when you
figure your own tax on Page 3.
Form 1040. the same four mage
job. is called the short form when
instead of figuring your tax, you
find it in the table on Page 4.
Form 1040-A is a one-sheet job
on yellow paper. With this you
don't have to figure your tax or
use the table. You simply answer
some questions and mail to to the
collector. He'll figure your tax
for you.
But people with 1850 income Of
$4,000 or more have no choice.
They must use the 1040 long form.
They can't use any other.
Depends on Problem.
The under 900 people may
use any one of three forms, but
the one you use depends on your
particular problems. Start with
the simplest:
Form 1040-A-You may use 1t
If your total 1850 income was
under $4,000, and If all of 1t was
in wages or salary from which
full tax was withheld during 1850,
or II you had additional non
taxed income that amounted to
no more than 500 and came from
wages, dividends or interest but
no other source.
For example, your income was
$4,100. Of that, $4,000 was in
wages, from which full tax was
withheld. The other 500 was in
wages, dividends or interest. You
mag use Form 1040-A.
But If you had $101 in wages,
or untaxed income-in
addition to your fully taxed wages
or salary-you may not use Form
1040-A You could use the 1040
short form.
And If you had any income at
all. no matter how small, from
things like rents or fees or an
nuities you may not use Form
1040-A. You may use the 1040
short form.
Example Given.
For example, your income was
$4,025. OF that, $4,000 was in
wages from which full tax was
The other $25 was in
fees. You may not use Form
1040-A. You may use the 1040
short form.
The 104O Short Form-If your
income was under $1,000 but of
such a kind that you may not use
Form 1040-A. then you may use
the 1040 short form. It's used
mostly by those under-$5, 900
people who did not have the full
tax or any tax withheld from
their 1850 income.
But why should any one, whose
income was under $4,000 want to
bother using the more difficult
L040 long form in which he has to
figure his own tax?
Any one with under-$5 900 in
come, using Form 1040-A or the
l040 short form, gets an auto
matte deduction of about 10 per
cent of his income for expenses
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-02-06

to the trouble of figuring your
tax. you may claim in full all the
deductions to which you think
you're entitled.
The under-$5. 900 people using
the l040 long form to claim un-
usually large deductions must
itemize them. but that's the only
way they can claim them.
What do husbands and wives
do about these three forms?
If their combined income is un-
der $1,000, they may file joint
return on form 1040-A or the
1040 short form. Remember,
when filing a joint return, the
law allows husbands and wives
to split their income, each claim
ing half. to save money!

husband and wife were under

RUSSIA NOW HAS

CLAIM OF DEAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 - R -
Atomic Commission Chairman Cor

Russia does have the atomic

He gave that answer to news
conference question based on recent
public discussion of whether the
Soviets actually did explode an
atomic bomb in the summer of 1949.
President Truman announced in
September, 1949. that there had
been an atomic explosion" in Rus
STA but he did not specifically say
an atom bomb had been exploded.
Chairman Mcmahon D-Conm of
the Senate House Atomic Commit

board of experts who evaluated the
report of the atomic blast had
agreed unanimously it was bomb.
The question was brought up

Dean also was asked whether
atomic bombs are being made any
where except in the United States
and Russia. He said that question
should be addressed ito the other
countries"
Asked whether Mr.. Truman has
yet ordered the Acc to deliver
bombs to the armed forces for pos
sible use, Dean replied he didn't
think he should answer the ques-
ton.
One questioner asked if the cost
of atomic bombs was now an i'm

STATEHOOD
BILL IS TO
BE CHANGED
Bartlett Tells Of New Pro-
delegate Plans
Trip 10 Anchorage
BY CHARLES d. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-7IR-New
legislation granting statehood to
Alaska, to be introduced in Con-
gress soon, will not contain the Sec
ton prohibiting Interior Depart
ment creation Of Indian reservations
in the new state.
This section was one of the most
controversial points in the bill that
died in the current session and
rallied many civil liberties organi-
cations against the measure.
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said
today his new bill will eliminate
that section.
Bartlett plans to depart Jan. 4 to
attend a meeting of the Alaska
Statehood Committee on Jan. 6 in
Anchorage. where the question of
the handling of the new bill will be
determined. He plans to return to
Washington Immediately upon con-
clusion of the meeting.
DoA biSoe Coiu q lCpOlUCI liC Will
propose several other changes for
the new bill.
Delegation Elected
He said that instead of providing
for 20 delegates to be elected to the
constitutional convention, eight to
be chosen at large, the new bill will
provide for 81 delegates, nine at
large, five from the First Judicial
Division, two from the Second Divi-
sion. 10 from the Third Division and
five from the Fourth Division.
His proposal also provides that
the persons having the largest
number of votes be elected to the
convention and eliminates the pri-
m>~v to select candidates. Capdi-
dates would run wiz out POI .cal
designah~~.
COnvent(c 1 Date
The bill will also pro, de the
convention shall meet within 80
days after the election instead of
80 days.
The new bill also will eliminate a
provision retaining to the new state
mineral rights in lands it sells.
The new bill would increase to
2,550.000 ceres land granted the
state for internal improvements.
The old bill would have granted
100000 acres.
Approval by President
The new bill also will provide that
the President shall approve the con-
stitution without reference to Con-
gress. The old bill gave this right
to Congress.
The new bill provides that if the
President does not approve the
constitution the convention shall be
reassembled, the new constitution
submitted to the voters and again
be reported to the President.
The new bill raises from 100000
to 100000 funds to defray the costs
of the convention and elections.
Election of state officers would be
held after state approval of the new
constitution by the President.
