"The use of adapted vari eties is particularly important as you go west across the State.

Individual taxpayers should be fully acquainted with the forms available to them in the preparation and filing of their 1961 income tax returns. Don't forget that the Government is stepping up its procedures ol auditing returns. It is making more and more efforts to close the holes through which income which should be reported and taxed goes unreported. New Form 1040 is a two-page form, printed on both sides of a single sheet. It can be used by any individual whose income is from wages or salary and who has no more than $200 in taxable dividends and interest. It is to be used whether you take the standard deduction or itemize your deductions. For a married couple filing jointly, the $200 test applies to their combined in comes. Schedule B must be used along with basic 1040, (1) if you have more than $200 in taxable divi dends and interest, or (2) if you have any income even just one dollar from rents, royalties, a pension, an annuity, a trust or an estate. This Schedule is like pages 3 and 4 of last year's 1040. Schedule C must be used if you operate a business or pro fession. Schedule D is to be used if you have gains or losses from the sale or exchange of property. The Internal Revenue Service has changed the form in many places and you will have to fol low it carefully. Card Form 1040 A has not been changed very much. This punch card can be used if you are a wage earner with income under $10,000, including not more than $200 in dividends, in terest, and wages not subject to withholding AND you want to use the standard deduction. Be sides being simple, if your in come is less than $5,000, you can leave it to the District Director to compute the tax and send you a bill. Remember, you cannot Carlos Romulo, retiring Phil ippines ambassador to the U.S.: "I leave the. United States .with a twinge. I have found the Am erican way of life captivating." use the card form if you have any other type of income or you want to itemize your deductions or claim certain credits. Think hard before using this form. We repeat, there are certain disadvantages to using the card form 1040 A. (1) You cannot itemize deductions. (2) As an employee you cannot deduct un-. reimbursed traveling or expen ses in connection with your work. (3) Sick pay exemption Is not available under a wage continuation plan. (4) No claim for credits for payments of esti mated tax or I960 overpayment. (5) Head-of-household rates and surviving spouse benefits are not available. (61 You don't get the 4'..' credit for dividends re ceived. (7) You don't get a re tirement income credit. (8) You can't claim an exemption for a person you are supporting with others under a multiple support declaration. Don't forget to put your Social Security number beside your name at the top of page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040 A. This will be your identification number for Internal Revenue Service's elec tronic equipment. If you don't have a Social Security number, an identification number will be given you sometime this year by IRS. Employers, banks, corpora tions, etc. who make payments to you are going to be required to report the payments with your identification number to en able the Government to check up on taxpayers. One Senator recently de scribed the law which author izes IRS to assign an identifica tion number to every taxpayer as "The Biggest Loophole-Closing Bill Ever." By all means, read the instruc tions furnished by the Govern ment carefully. They are moi,t helpful. THOMAS WALLING CO.
