form was written especially tor
people like Jones, who haven't
large incomes or complicated busi
ness affairs. On this form, you
don’t have to figure deductions and
things like that because- the form
gives you credit for an average a
mount of them.
If you" are like Jones* maybe it
would help you with your own in
I come tax return to see how ht> did
it, step by step, (see above)
First, Jones saved himself a lot
of trouble by reading the instruc
tions and the form carefully. Sec
ond, Jones made it easy by getting
together the figures he would need.
Here are the figures he collected:
a. The amount of his 1943 wag
es and the amount of income tax
and victory taken o’-t of his wag
es by his employer.
He got both of these figures
from hjs employer on a receipt.
(Form W-2) which the law says
you'r employer must g»ve you.
b. The amount of his other in
come. Jones had some money in
a savings account and he made a
note of how much interest the hank
paid or credited him last year.
c. The amount of nis 1942 tax
and how much he paid on it. Jon
es copied these figures from the I
slip (Form 1125) which was mailed j
him by the Collector of Internal I
Revenue.
Now. Jones was ready t° fill out
| his return. He put down his name>
' address, occupation and social se
curity number.
NOw let’s follow, what he did ac
cording to the numbers on the re
turn form.
Item 1—That’s wagv« and other
kidns of pay. Jones -arned $50 a
week last year, working as a Clerk
for the Henry Smit hoompany in
his home town. Of course, there
were a lot of tihngs such as war
bonds, taxes, and union dues de
ducted from his pyacheck every
week, but Jones had to put down
the full amount of his wages which
came to $2,600, opposite the name
of his employer.
Item 2—Here he put down the
$25 interest he received on his sav
ings. Incidentally, Jones owns
war bonds, t°o, but unless you o
lect to accrue bond interest on war I
bonds until you cash them or they
mature.
Item 3—He added the $2,600 an 1
| the *?5.
I Item 4—Jones has a young dau
ghter, named Mary, so he wrota
her name down and, as the form
directs, wrote his credit of $SS5
over in the money column.
Item 5—He subtracted the cvod
it he got for Mary from the 'ust.
figure.
zltem 6—He turned over the
form and looked over the boxes at
the top of the page to see which ;
one fit him. No. 4 was "it,” and
he put a check mark there. Tha:
meant that Jones would find iiis
income tax in column C of the ta
ble. Jone's figure in Item "• on
nhte front page was $2,249. He
looked in the table for a line where
that figure would fit. He found
a line which said ‘‘over $2,225 but ■
not over $2,250”, and then looked
across to Column C, where it said
$159. That is Jones’ income tax
and he wrote it in Item 6 on the
front page.
Item 7—This time, Jones had to
do some figuring at the bottom of
the back page, where It says “vic
tory tax.” On Une "a” he copied
the figure he had in Item 3 on the
other side, which was $2,625. On
line “b” he put his victory tax ex
emption of $624. Then he sub
tracted and put th defiefrence of
$2,001 on line ‘‘c”. Then Jones
noticed the twO-line table of per
centages, found the percentage
which fit him (married, one de
pendent). and put a circle around
it. His percentage was 2.9. lie
was a little rusty on decimals, so
he looked in the examples to see
how to multiply $2,001 by .029, and
again the examples helped him
move the decimal points around to
the right places. This arithmetic
showed him his victory tax was
$58.03, and he wrote that figure
in Tern 7 on the front page.
Item 8—He added the two taxes
together and found the tax on his 1
1943 income was $217.03.
Item 9—He already had made a
note of the fact that hjs income
tax for 1942 was $84.17, and he
wrote it down here.
Item 10—The fignire in item 8
was bigger than the figure in item
9. so he put the item 8 figure of
$217.03 here.
Item 11—Since the item 9 figure,
was smaller, he put that figure in
item 11-A. Next he had to figure
three-fourths of $84.17, which is;

found how that helps.
Item 13—From the figures he
prepared before he started to fill
out his return, Jones put down in
Item 13-A th e$7116.0 atx his em
ployer took out of his wages, and
put down in Item 13-B the *42.09
he had paid on his $1942 tax. He
didn’t have anything to put down
in Item 13C because he didn’t have
to file a "declaration of estimated
tax’’ last September or December.
So he added up the other '.wo
figures and found he had already
paid $213.69 of his tax.
Item 14—That left the differ
ence, $24.38, which is all Jonesi
owed on account of his 1942 and
1943 taxes.
Item 15—But Jones found he
could postpone until next year
what he owes up to one-half of the
$21.04 he wrote in Item 11-C. Half
is $10.52 and he writes that in It

Item 16—That left $13.86. which
is all that Jones had to pay before
March 15.
Item 17—Jones didn’t put any
thing here because he didn’t have
any refund coming to him.
Now, at the bottom of the page,
Jones wrote the date, signed his
name, and that was all there was
to it. He put the return, a check
for $13.86, and the statement (Form
1125) on his 1942 tax. in an envel

his locality and he was square with

HAVE YOU DONE YOUR PART
AS AN INDIVIDUAL? HAVE
YOU BOUGHT YOUR BOND?
Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 16 -—Al
though the Fourth War Loan cam
paign closes officially on Tuesday,
February 15, Nebraska counties
that have been snow-bound for the
past week will have an opportunity
to complete their county canvasses.
W. Dale Clark, State Chairman
of the War Finance Committee for
Nebraska announced that sale of
"E”, “F” and "G” Series bonds
will count in the campaign, prov
ided purchases are made prior to
February 29 and if these addition
al sales are reported immediately
to the Federal Reserve Bank in O
maha.
"Many Nebraska counties are ov
er the top in their over-all quotas”
said Mr. Clark, ‘‘however, sales to
individuals and sales of the Series
‘E’ bonds have not been up to ex
Dectations. Adverse weather con
ditions are partially responsible bet
we believe that a part of our poor
showing in individual and ‘E’ scles
has been due in some instances to
complacency or over-optimism.
"The war is a long way from oe
ing over, and I urge Nebras:i 's, '
who have not yet participated in
the Fourth War Loan campaign
through bond purchases, to answ
er this urgent call for funds f.o
badly needed to prosecute a suc
cessful war.
‘‘If every Nebraskan, with avail
able funds, would buy an extra
$100 bond this week, I am sure Ne
br: ika would make its ‘E’ bond
quota and that the state’s indiv
idual quota would also be reached”
Clark added.
Chairmen of 93 county War Fin
ance Committees on Monday rec
eived a message from State Chair
man Clark, urging them to keep
their campaign organization intact
and continue the campaign until,
February 29.
"Nebraska Can and will make trie
various quotas assigned, if every
Nebraskan realizes that this Is his
war and does his part as an indiv
idual”, Mr. Clark stated.
