If TIE TAX MAN CALLS you IN.
Continued trO,S page sess,s

Your employer, your bank, your neighbor -
none of them knows you are on the carpet.
Take off your coat. Light cigarette. Chew
gum if you wish. The agent wants you to re-
lax. He has been trained to win your confidence
by making you as comfortable az possible.
The agent win begin the interview by I'M
PRODUCING himself Next, he win consult
folder on his desk which contains your income
tax return for the year in question. He win
then explain why you have been called m.
Mr.. Smith" he may say. 'in 1850 you
deducted three hundred and fifty dollars for
contributions to various charities. However,
under the law we are not authorized to allow
these deductions unless you can furnish ade-
quate proof. Can you give me list of the
agencies to which you donated and show re-
ceipts or Cancelled checks?"
Hyou can whip out checks and receipts
To snbstantiate your generosity for the
year, the agent will inspect them, duly
record the details, and congratulate you
for having kept such faithful records. If
you can only supply evidence for $500 in
donations, the agent win quiz you about the
missing $15O If your excuse is that you gave
it away m cash, he win want to know why
cash, and to whom. Then it is up to you to
convince him.
A dollar week ON the church plate? That's
reasonable. Fifty dollars throughout the year
for March of Dimes, Red Cross and the Boy
Scouts? Seems fair. But that leaves so bucks
maccomted for. However, you look like
pretty honest gent and the rest of your tax
seems okay. So, he says. 90 home and forget
about it, but in the future request receipt
whenever you feel the philanthopic urge.
But what if Mr.. Smith can furnish docu-
mentation for only $50 of the $3.50 he has
deducted from his tax? Sorry. mister, but
Uncle Sam can't allow the improved $500
You'll have to pay taxes on that amount -
plus six per cent interest charges.
Or take the case of Mr. Brown, who is called
in to justify his deduction Of $50 for bad
debt" But, the agent wants to know. is it
Evening star., 1953-03-01

really bad debt? How hard have you tried
to get your money back?
''It'shopeless, answers Mr.. Brown. ''Herbie
has owed me the money for two years. I've
dunned him fifty times and now he won't even
talk to me when phone him at the plant.
Tough, reports the agent, but inasmuch
as Herbie has job the law can't recognize
him as a deadbeat. If Herbie was unem-
ployed, or without any means of income, we
might allow the deduction. He's your prob
lem, not Uncle Sans" So Brown has to make
good this erroneous claim.
Tips couns Too
IF YOU are one of the 100000 Americans
who receives tips in addition to wages =
waiter, cabdriver, bellboy. barber. beauti-
clan, doorman or hatcheck girl = Uncle Sam
may call you in to demand his share of this
invisible income.
One revenue collector described the tip
checking system this way: I'VE expect every
body to report tips IN full. and the burden of
proof is ON the taxpayer. We have minimum
standards set for every group, such as walters
or cabdrivers. These standards are secret.
"Often they are more than fifteen per cent.
We make secret surveys of restaurants in
different price categories. and we know rough
ly what the tipping average is in the Stork
Club or Childs restaurant We recheck our
figures at least once year. We know, for
instance. that the average tipping total for
bellboys at certain hotel is forty-thee dol
lars month, 90 we expect bellboys there to
report figure within that range.
ITO check on walters. wen seTegate all the
returns from walters and select at random
every tenth return, and then well carefully
check it against what our statistics show is the
minimum standard for tips in that type of
restaurant If there is suspicious discrep-
ancy, wen investigate the mans standard of
living. Has he bought any stocks or bonds
lately? Made large bank deposits? Bought a
new house1 If he has, then our friend the
waiter will have lot of explaining to do, and
Evening star., 1953-03-01

If you are merely mathematical offender,
and have underpaid or Overpaid your tax by
careless figuring, they viii notify you and send
either refund check or bin for the extra.
If you think your calculating was faultless,
you can write letter explaining why. The
government will then take another look and
make final ruling. That decision stands
There's no appeal from the governments
Interpretation Of the rules Of arithmetic.
The process whereby the long arm Of the
revenue agent reaches out to tap you for a
personal interview begins with Form 1871.
This IS an official letter which gently breaks
the news that your return for certain year
has been selected for veri6cation. This greet
ing further specifies the time and date you
are to appear in the federal parlOr. It also
suggests that you bring with you books or
records disclosing your income and expenses,
bank statements. Cancelled checks, savings
bank books and brokerage statements
Strong men have passed out at the receipt
Of Form 1871, and others have had their
ulcers act up. In Ohio recently one jittery
tax-simer swallowed fistful of sleeping pills
rather than face his day of reckoning. The
truth of the matter is that Uncle Sam regards
all taxpayers as innocent until proved guilty.
and that it is his policy to give you every
legal break possible Naturally, he1l slap you
down if you're way out of line.
At Year Comvonisnco
BECAUSE the revenue men realize that they
are public servants and that you are their
boss" they viii treat you with respect and
courtesy. If it is inoonvenient for you to ap-
pear before them on the date requested. they
will agree to more suitable time. If you
can't get away from your job. they will see
you on your lunch hour, first thing in the
morning, or at the end of the day. If you are
i'll or going out of town, they win grant you
an extension.
When you do keep your tryst with the tax
agent, remember that everything which tran
spires across the desk between is confidential.
Evening star., 1953-03-01

it win have to be some very fast explaining"
An excessive deduction which seems padded
in relation to your net income Is red light
that catches the radaf eye of the tax agent.
One Official told me Of the return Of man who
took deduction of $500 for sales taxes on
gross income Of $4,000. ''This fellow would
have had to have made about seven thou
sand dollars worth Of purchases during
the year to justify such . huge figure.
Obviously we must call him in."
The road to tar evasion is paved with good
intentions Folks who declare large medical
expenses frequently, in good faith. try to
charge off the travelling expenses for d re-
Operative vacation to Florida. Such expense
is deductible only if you can prove that you
made the trip to get medical treatment not
obtainable locally. Many housewife, after
an illness, hires maid and honestly thinks
she can legitimately deduct her salary as
medical expense" from the Joint return she
has filed with her husband. A nurse, yes
but Uncle Sam won't foot the bin for servant
The executive who deducts too much for
entertainment costs, the salesman who seems
out of line on travelling expenses, the suburban
home owner who reports an alarming loss due
to storm damage" = all are grist for the tax
agents MILL He win be glad to grant you
these claims if you can prove them.
Kesp AecegAsg
WHAT constitutes proof Itemized invoices,
receipted bills, Cancelled checks. Keep rec
ords," urge the tax men. IF you suffer
damage to your property due to fire or storm,
establish the amount Of damage Immediately
by photographs or by an affidavit from a
professional appraiser. If your job or business
involves taking clients out to lunch, dinner
and the theater, it would be prudent to main-
tain charge accounts at restaurants or with
theater brokers. If you have numerous out
of-pocket expenses for which you pay cash,
enter them in daily diary and the tax agent
will be likely to accept them as evidence"
It's wise taxpayer who records the names
and addresses Of people whose services he
hires during the year. If you've deducted
legal or medical fees, remember that the
agent has right to request the name of the
