APRIL 1 LAST DAY
FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are
Severe—Get Your Return
in if You Are Liable.
April 1, 1018, Is the final day al
lowed under the federal Income tax
law for the filing of federal income
tax returns. Persons who are requir
ed to file returns under the provision*
of law and who fall to get their re
turns In on time are subject to se
vere penalties, as follows:
For making false or fraudulent re
turn, not exceeding $2,000 or uot ex
ceeding one year's Imprisonment, oi
both, in the discretion of the court,
and, in addition, 100 per cent, of tie
tax evaded.
For falling to make return on time
not less than $20 nor more than $1,
COO, and, in addition, 50 per cent, of
the amount pf tax due.
If on account of illness or absence
from home you are unable to rendet
your return within Ihe time prescribed
by law you may obtain an extension
of 30 days if a request therefor is filed
with the collector of your district be
fore the due dute of the return. In
this request you must slate the rea
son why the return eannot be filed
within the time prescribed by law.
Collectors of internal revenue are
not authorized to grant extensions ol
more Ilian 30 days, hut the commit
stoner of Internal revenue has author
lty to grant a reasonable extension
beyond 30 days In meritorious cases.
If you desire an extension of more
than 30 days your request should b*
addressed to the commissioner and"
should contain a detailed statement
covering the reasons which make II
Impossible for you to file your returr
on or before April 1.
The internal revenue men are now
completing their tour of the country
during which they were in touch will
the people of every city and town. II
you failed to get In touch with tht
deputy w hich visited your section It Is
not too late to get advice. Consult
your postmaster as to where the near
est deputy is now. Get your blank
form, study the directions and the re
quirements ns shown thereon and
make your return without fail if yout
Income was sufficient to come wlthii
the bounds named in the law.
It is pointed out by Commlsslonet
Itoper that It Is Important that tin
people comply with the federal law*
as fully as they are complying wltl
the drafts for men and the conserva.
tlon of foods and fuel. “The war must
be paid for,” says Commissioner Itoper
"Congress has ns much right to cot),
script a just portion of Income as It
has to conscript our boys. The tax
for 1917 Is designed to reach moder
ate its well as large incomes, so that
all persons who are In financial post
tlon lo lienr a portion of the heavy
government expenses can he assessed
In proportion to their ability to pay.
"The man who Is barely making *
living or barely supporting a family
Is not affected by the 1917 law. Bui
the man who Is able to bear a share
of the burden has been reached by
the new law, and he should accept hit
responsibility In the same patriotic
spirit that our young men have shown
In offering themselves for this great
purpose of the country to make the
world safe for people of all kinds tc
live in and to govern themselves.”
This tax is one which recognize!
women us on uu equal basis with men
The unmarried woman or the martlet
woman with a salary must make tui
return Just the same us utty man. Only
the woman supporting her mother oi
other members of her family may take
out $2,000 exemption.
Under the law’ the head of the fa ml
ly is the one whose earning power con
tributes to the family's support.
Similarly a widow with small chil
dren to support can lake out $2,00(
exemption utnl $200 additional exemp
tlon for each of her children uudei
eighteen. Thus it Is Intended tha'
the luw shall work no hardship to wo
men having to struggle to get along
But each must file return if her In
come is $1,000.
A man whose wife dies and who i*
left with small children to support
upon a moderate Income may also take
full exemption under the new tax luw
and also claim $200 exemption foi
ereh of his children under eighteen.
The widower under the law Is s
single man and must make tux re
turn accordingly. Married men need
not file returns unless they are earn
ing $2,0tJO or more.
“This is as much a national obllga
tlon as the reporting for duty of a man
drafted for service with the colors,’
says D. C. Itoper, commissioner of In
ternal revenue. “As It Htands, It I*
much u matter of the man or wo
man’s own conscience. It Is for him
or for her to determine Just how fat
he Is liable to (he tux. He must figure
tils own Income and If It reaches tht
figures named In the low must make
faithful report upon It to the propel
authority.
"This lax Is distinctly a war mens
are and will he in effect during tht
war.
"This Is a . eople's lax—It reache*
right down Into the pockets of Iht
small wage earner; It makes him a
partner to the Job of winning the
war.”
