Federal Tax Return Deadline March 15 ■ ! 53|MilHon Persons I , Mfist File Returns \ .Wasjiggton, Jan. 28.—(UP)— The in?onal revenue bureau had a kind word today for the millions of taxpayers «startlng their annual with the federal income tax blank: “ifs easy.” Between now and midnight March? 15, evieryone— adult or child —Who- had a gross income of S6OO or more 1 in 1951 (that’s your earn-, ings before any deductions) must file a return. . goes for self-Cihployed person’s who had at least S4OO of net earnings last year after deducting business expenses. [ j I or exceed your income, so that you don’t have to pay any federal taxes, you must file if you topped those S4OO and S6OO minimums. A great many of the 53,000,000 taxpayers who must file returns this already have paid all of their sdebt to the /federal government through withholding taxes dedqcteU froni their salaries or wages during' 1951. But they must file reUjmir{anyway. Perhaps 30.000,000 will have refunds! due them, and they must file returns to get their refunds. Yoh .are entitled to a refund it, for one reason or another, your .employer deducted too much from ypur ;T951 pay checks. Withholding taxes ire based on broad, typical--taxpayer tables that can’t take into account unusual allowable deductions, such*, as big doctors* bills, which' some families incur. many workers don't notify their employers when they have a new i child in the family or take over the full support of a relative. extra exemptions lower your tax -liability. Ifiybu have a refund coming, you simply enter the amount on line 8 of your completed form 1040, specify whether you want the money refunded or credited against future 'taxes, and the-government will do the rest. If ypu use the short form 1040A, the revenue bureau figures out your tax or refund for you. Jf yoti worked for wages or salaries covered by the pay-as-you-go withholding system, you must include Fith your return the original of the W-2 withholding statement provided by your employer.
