employer, this would amount to $S4.
However, if you worked for several
employers, more than $S4 might have
been withheld. Check your VIZ with
holding slips and see whether the to-
tai F. I. c. A (Federal Insurance
Contributions Act) is more than S84.
If it is, you can claim credit for the

by taxpayers fall into these four
groups:
I'D Incorrect listing of income.
This is the main source of error,
partly because of debatable questions
involving business income. Tndivi-
duals make mistakes too by leaving
out such items as interest on savings
accounts, dividends and contest win
nings, or by including items which
are exempt.
t2) Errors in personal deductions.
This category includes the deductions
taken when the 10 per cent stand
ard deduction" is not used. Impor-
tant deductions from income are:
state and local taxes, interest paid
on loans, charitable contributions,
medical expenses, losses from storm,
fire, flood or theft.
CD Claiming too many Or too few
dependents. Exemptions are allowed
for the taxpayer himself and for cer-
tain persons he supports, if fthey fit
the definitions in the instruction
book.
(Q Faulty arithmetic. This is the
cause of the fewest number of er-
rors, but approximately 80 per cent
Of these arithmetical mistakes are
made by the taxpayer against him.
self, resulting in approximately $19,
600, 900 in overpayment of taxes.
The first thing to determine is
whether you should file a return or
not. Everyone whose gross income
was 5000 or more in 1856 must file a
return by April Is, 1857. Even il
your income was less than 5000 you
should file a return if any tax was
withheld by your employer and you
wish to receive refund. In any case,
if you had as much as S400 earnings
from self-employment you must file
return to report those earnings for
social security purposes.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-12-20
NON-TAXABLE INCOME

1t is important to remember that
all income is not taxable. You should
not include in your return any in
come which is listed in the official
instruction book as exempt. This in
cludes interest on state and munich
pal bonds, most government pay
ments to veterans and their fami-
lies, life insurance proceeds upon
death, gifts and social security bene-
fits. The tax instructions from the
Internal Revenue Service contain
list of the types of income which
should be included andthose shich
should be omitted from your return.
If YOU CHANGED JOBS
Here is a special point to watch if
you worked for more than one en-
ployer during 1856. You may have
overpaid your social security tax.
Each employer is required to with
hold social security amounting to 2
per cent of the first $4,000 of your
