Information For
Federal Income
Taxpayers

More than half of the nations
taxpayers who seek assistance
from agents of the Internal Rev
enue Service believe that such
official aid assures that their in
come tax returns will receive no
further examination by the tax
collecting agentcy, Revenue COM
missioner Russell c. Harrington
revealed today. His statement
followed a spot check of several
of the country's 81 district offices
where they year, as in years gone
by, such a belief has been voiced
by large numbers of taxpayers
visiting Revenue offices for help
in preparing their returns.
"There is no special handling
given returns prepared for tax
payers, by u agents, or for
those in which partial assistance
has been given" Commissioner
Harrington emphasized. "Those
returns are in exactly the same
status as a return prepared by
any taxpayer in his own home.
The taxpayer, regardless of the
circumstances under which his
return was prepared, must stand
full responsibility for its accur-
acy."
Since more than 10 million per-
sons have sought aid at Revenue
field offices in each of several
recent years, a good proportion
of the taxpaying population holds
a mistaken idea in this regard,
Harrington indicated. District 6i-
rectors have informed him, he
said, that many taxpayers appear
greatly disturbed on being told
that their returns may well be
given thorough examination, even
though entries and computation
have been made by an assisting
agent.
Taxpayers who have received
such official assistance should be
Just as careful to retain financial
records which relate to their e
turns as any other taxpayers"
Mr.. Harrington said. while a
