YEAR'S GREETINGS.
SINGLE MEN ABOVE $1000 PAY
Itinerary Is Announced for Twenty
Three Field Agents Through
State.
Have yon made your income tax
return?
Well, as the poet says, "The soon
er, the quicker!"
Many Nebraskans may aot yet be
aware that they are amcng the 70,
000 people in this state who are sub
ject to a tax on their incomes. This
is because the new war income tax
law- reduced the amount of exempted
income in a more or less startling
degree. . .
Heretofore, if you were single,
j-our income was exempt from, tax
up to $3,000 a year. If you were
married you paid no tax unless your
income was over $4,000 a year. It's
different now.
War Tax Catches Many.
The war income tax is lev.'ed on
all incomes of unmarried persons
which exceed $1,000 a year, and up
on incomes of married persons in ex
cess of $2,000 per year.
To make , it read in every-day
terms, if your salarjr or income is
in excess of the following, you are
subject to the tax:
Shigle persons, $3.28 a working
day, $19.22 a week or $S3.33 a

i Additional exemption is allowed
on the basis of $200 a year for each
dependent child under 18 years of
age.
Get Blanks From Field Agents.
It is further explained that the tax
does not apply to the entire income,
but only to the excess amount over
the exemption in each case. A sin
gle person, for instance, on a salary
of $1,200 a year would pay the tax
on $200.
Collector of Internal Revenue L'oo
mis explains that blank forma on
which the returns are to be made
may be secured from any one of the
field agents who will shortly visit
practically every city in the state on
a lour of instruction, or they may be
obtained by writing to the office of
Mr. Loomis here. -. ;
Many of the blanks already have
been mailed to persons who are
known to come under the provisions
of the act, but the failure to receive
a blank by mail Is no excuse for fail
ure to make the return.
March 1 Limit for Returns. .
The returns should be made at
once, and must be made not later
than March 1, as there is a stiff pen
alty for delinquency in making the
returfl. There is also an oven stiff er
penalty, including imprisonment, lor
false report of income.
Where both husband and wife have
independent incomes, each may
make the return, but if the income
of either is less than $1,000. but
their combined income is $2,000 or
more, a joint return should be rend
ered. It is expressly declared tbr when
a person's income con? 3 ex tly to
the amount exempted. $" "JO or
$2,000, a return must ' made, al
though the person will not have to
