It may well be that you had income of less than S6D0 (or $1200) and income tax was withheld from your paychecks. In this case, you should file a tax return. The return will show that you owe no tax and will act as a claim for refund of the withheld tax.

The sooner you file your return, the sooner you have your refund. Taxable income is money or its equivalent in goods or serv ices you received. This income is reduced by the cost of what you sola. For in stance, if you soid merchandise that cost you $1 for 2, then you have a gross income of $2, but your taxable income would ba only $1. What you received for the merchandise, less what it cost you. The same is true of your serv ices. For instance: John Tax payer is a salesman and is away from home overnight most of the time. His costs traveling, meals; tips, etc., are deductible. These cests are deducted from income on page one of the tax return. They are a direct de duction from income in com puting his adjusted gross in come. They have no bearing on whether or not John uses short form 1040, computing his tax from the tax table? or takes the standard deduction; or itemizes his deductions. Joe Taxpayer, John's brother, is an employee. He started work this year. To get the job he paid an employment agency fee. Joe also joined his union and paid an initiation fee . and monthly dues. Joe had to buv tools and supplies necessary to his job. Joe is required by his employer and the duties of this job to purchase and maintain special uniforms and work cloth ing which are not adapted to streetwear. These, and many other costs, Joe takes as deductions on his tax return. These deductions are taken on page three of the return. They can be taken only if Joe files long form 1040 and itemizes his deductions. The de ductions are lost if Joe files- a short form 1040, form 1040A or takes the standard deduction. There are many deductions that John Taxpayer, Joe Tax payer and the merchant can take. That's what these col umns are about. Then too, some kinds of income are not taxed. They will be covered in later columns. Be sure to read every column. Some may help you. There are approximately 2.000 polio patients now in iron lungs fighting to recover from the serious after - effects of this disease. Your help is needed. Give to the 1955 March of Dimes.
