Office Announces
Taxpayer Services
Other Suggestions
Told For March Is
By Agent kl0cke


Hot on the heels Of stretched
Christmas budgets. federal in
ccme tax deadline. March Is. Is
rushing upon many bewildered
holders Of the purse strings.
However. according to A. II.
Klocke. Farmville internal reve-
nue. agent. the local office in the
basement of Farmville Post Office
will offer several additional serv-
ices to ease tensions and mount
ing fears about March Is.
In addition to the regular office
hours OF $50 a. m. to p. m. the
Farmville office will be opened
three additional SaturdayS8:3 80
a. MS p. m. Jan. 81: $50 a. M
1890 p. m. March Z; and $50
a. MS p. m. March IA. Any time
during regular and special office
hours. the Farmville office will be
happy to advise and assist tax
payers who need help on their
returns, Mr.. Klocke assured citi-
ZenS.
Call Service
Also. as an added service TO the
taxpaying public. this year. after
hours telephone service will be
furnished each regular work day
from Jan. l2-l5: Jan. 26-3l: and
March Ola. This service will be
given between the hours OF TO
p. m. by calling Farmville 40.
Mr.. Klocke also listed 10 other
valuable suggestions for local tan
payers. They are:
All calendar year taxpayers who
are not granted extensions must
file their 1852 returns no later
than March Is.
Farmers who do not file esti-
mates must get their returns in
on or before Jan. 81. 1853.
A farmer is anyone who de-
rived tWo-thUdS. or more, of his
1852 income from the production
of agricultural products.
Joint Returns
taxpayer is anyone who earn
ed $500, or more. in 1852.
Anyone who earned less than
$500 does not have to file re-
turn, but if he had income tax
withheld. he should file in order
to get the tax back.
No joint return may be filed
by any taxpayer except husband
and wife.
Husbands and wives are not re-
CURED to file joint returns. but
it is usually to their advantage to
do SO.
Taxpayers who had any salary.
or wages. during 1852 can not
properly file their returns until
they have received their Form
W. from their employers. The
original copy of such form from
each place of employment in 1859
must be attached to and become
a part of the return.
Social Security
No taxpayer may get credit for
more than S54 paid in Social
Security Tax in 1852. So, if a tax
payer worked at mcre than one
place in 1852 and the total Social
Security Tax taken out from all
salary exceeds S54, the excess be-
comes a credit against his income
tax and is taken on his return.
If a taxpayer sold his home for
gain in 1852 and has, or expects.
to buy another. his gain on the
sale may not be taxable.
Taxpayers who in 1852 had
business income are required to
show on their returns total re-
ceipts from such business. Tax
able income is arrived at on the
return itself
Keep Copy
Many taxpayers may be entitled
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1953-01-09
Keep Copy

Many taxpayers may be entitled
TO relief in 1852 by virtue of the
new provision in the law for heads
Of households.
All taxpayers should retain
copy CT their returns.
These are the latest suggestions
for March l5-a date circled on
calendars in many homes. And
