NeU Punch Gard Form 1O4OA SWupLfies
Income Tax Filing For Many Persons

The new punch-card Federal tax
form for reporting 1854 income was
today described by Director of In
ternal Revenue Gilbert C. Hooks as
the simplest return developed by the
Revenue Service during the forty
year history of the Federal income
tax.
"This is one Federal tax return
that can be filled in with the very
minimum of trouble" Director Gil
bert C. Hooks said. Devised for the
employee whose total wages reported
on his withholding statement amounts
to less than $4,000, and who does not
have more than $1OO of other income,
the return requires no mathematical
computations" he explained.
The new punch card return, official
ly designated Form 1040A, is now
available at all Internal Revenue Of
fees, and can also be obtained at most
banks, building associations and post
offices. Besides the punch card, tax
payers who elect to use the simplified
form are furnished an instruction
sheet which carries facsimiles of both
sides of the card. After the data has
been assembled 1on the instruction
sheet, the taxpayer copies it on the
punch card, retaining the rough draft
for his own records.
The front of the card bears the tax,
payers Identification, the amount OF
income he has received, the amount
withheld by his employer, and divi
dend credits and sick pay allowances
if any. He also designates by CHECK
mark his marital status, and signs
the card, which is his return. If it il
a joint return, the signatures of botf
the husband and wife are required
On the back of the card the taxpayer
shows his exemptions, including him
self, his wife, children and other de-
pendents, the extent of support, etc
When the card return is completed
it should be mailed, with the tax
payers Withholding statement (Forn
W-2), to the District Director of In
ternal Revenue in the envelope which
is provided for this purpose. From
the information on the card, the In
ternal Revenue Service will figure tn,

Sure, we know it isn't your
fault. 1t wasn't your fault be-
cause you belonged to all those
bridge clubs that you just could
MT miss. It wasn't your fault that
there was a dance every Saturday
at that "Snazzy" night club. or
that Jim was having a poker
game, and he just couldn't miss a
chance to lose some money.
We also understand about your
being gone so late on Saturday
night that you had to sleep late
on Sunday morning and couldn't
go to church.
And where were we, the Gu

we were that big, we were also I

many hours away from home be-
cause you were always gone. '
And now you think you're DOING t
your part to help our country RE b

puted that the price of wheat on
a free market could easily 60 to
$3.50 a bushel and perhaps as low

of corn and other grains down.
Some observers feel that it might
