Income Tax Forms Baffle Citizens ” Average Individual U*t -vu te _m.teiaA.-M .tfUeOMMr. *egg£ tax form properly. ~ - ~~ Dr. Dxvld P. RMer. psychology professor at Illinois institute of technology, said that roughly M percent of the population bas the mental ability to understand the tonus... - • - . ■ It take* an I. Q. «< 110. he estimated. to understand the government'* Instructions for tilling out the longer tax forms “»o you're lucky If you have It all taken out by withholding tax.” '.V ' More than 85 percent of the population "simply does not have the mentality to follow the legal, technical language," he said. That's not all. Even persons with the mental ability to understand the instructions may fall down because they lack “number* facility” or suffer from repressions. It Is the "tendency to repress unpleasant experiences" and not laxiness that makes people put off their income tax figuring until the last possible minute. Boder said "Unfortunately, the longer they postpone It the more unpleasant is the experience, and as a result the psychological block Is ~ even worse the next year," he said. The lack of "numbers facility" can happen to anyone. Boder said—"lots of scscalled-genluxei can't do the simplest problem* in mathematics." Income tax figuring. J»e said, should be mads a regular part of high school instruction "The instruction should start about January- or February, in time to give the parents a hand," he (■ld. "The younger geaarsllon In that way could overcome the psychological block that stymies their parents before they themselves have to face the problem." Under emphasised that he didn't mean to “critlclxe the government" for the complicated form* because

"they have to be that way to cover exerything It's just too had for the majority of people ” Boder had some suggestions that mllbl make the annual ordeal easier I. Get several;Jslank forms, not just one. "so you can tear it up I if you make a mistake." 2 Keep your old return* as a i future guide. 3.
