Income News

Did you wind up owing Uncle
Sam additional income taxes this
year because your withholding
tax for 1858 was not. enough to
cover the total amount due?
Nathaniel LOCKER, Columbus
District Director, Internal Re-
venue Service, says you can
avoid this situation next time in
an easy way.
"You can increase your with
holding simply by dropping one
or more Of the exemptions you
claim on Form Wa, Withholding
Exemption Certificate" LOCKER
stated.
He added that if this doesn't
do the trick, you can ask your
employer to withhold any adj
ditional amount necessary to
cover your liability in full.
Taxpayers who wish to re-
duce the number of exemptions
claimed for withholding pur-
poses need only file a new Form
WA with their employer" Look
er said.
But those who need a further
increase in their Withholding
must have a written agreement

must also be stated in the
resolution.
The resolution must then be
certified to the board of cleo
tons not later than the ninetieth
day before the day Of the cleo
ton.
The question is then submitted
to the voters on a ballot, the
form of which is prescribed by
the statutes. Various percent
ages of affirmative vote are nee
essary for passage, depending
upon such things as: what SUBJ
division is submitting the ques-
ton; what purpose the money is
to be used for; and when the
election is to be held.
Provision is made in the law
for submitting bond issues and
tax levy questions at primary or
special elections as well as at
November elections. AS a rule,
however, it is necessary to obtain
a large number of affirmative
votes in order to approve an
issue at a special election than
is necessary at a November cleo
ton. The percentage of affirma-
tive votes necessary for passage
must always appear on the ballot
for each question.
