State Income
Tax Forms Put
In Mail Today
Sl5O,OOO Return
Likely From
3,lOO On List

The inevitable hour Of reckoning
has arrived
Sandwiched between those Christ
mas bills in your mail this week
will be greetings from the Common
wealth Of Virginia. Department OF
Taxation. It's state income tax
time.
Commissioner of Revenue v. C.
Womack had 3,l00 income and per-
sonal property tax forms addressed
and ready for mailing today in
those window envelopes that leave
no doubt of the grim contents.
A red slip attached to the forms
this year sounds the death knell Of
the split payment provisions of the
last two years. In other words. the
Commonwealth, through the county
commissioners. expects one pay
ment in full no later than
May l, 1853.
No Split Payment
The split payment provision was
authorized by the General Assem-
bly, when it moved the payment
time up from December 5 to May l.
The legislators reminded us then
that the state would go to one
payment procedure in 1859.
Commissioner Womack has a
special word of advice to Prince
Edward taxpayers, who will part
with something in the neighborhood
of 1000 in tax payments:
You can begin filing F.. and pay
ing right away. and you can't
postpone it later than May L.
The most satisfactory compromise,
Wonack feels, is to prepare the
state forms at the same time the
federal income tax calculations are
made.
Early Filing
Then all the figures are available
for completing the state forms.
Early filing and paying will en-
able you to avoid the last minute
rush and the resulting inconveni-
ence and will enable the tax Of
ficials to render you better serv-
ice That's the terse message in
the last paragraph Of the red slip.
It's sound advice, Commissioner
Womack says.
Whichever time the forms are
filed and paid for. the total. based
on state and national personal in
come estimates. may be at near
record proportions.
During 1857. for example. per-
sonal income for the whole u S..
rose to $345.3 billions more
than five per cent above the previ-
Gus record established the year be-
fore. That is from the recent report
