There is a penalty for not answering the census letter but this is probably another law that wouldn't st md the wrath of a court appeal. The protest most heard is that the census is too personal. Not receiving the long form myself, it would be hard to state truly, but it objection can be found to the short form, it is hard to see where. It is about time something is done by our government that people will accept Their continual protesting leaves a bad taste in the mouth of most. If they are so upset with what they aie given in the way of opportunity in this land, let them not be counted . . . and let them find their wav some plat e besides the good old U.S.A.

The column answers question most frequently asked by taxpavers. Qi Is there a Form 1040-1 and if so. where can I get a copy ? A) The designation 1040-1 refers to the page number of the back of the first copy of the Form 1640 in the tax packages sent to all taxpayeis this year. On it will be found general information in the new Form 1010. other gene: al instructions for Form 1040 continue on the back of the taxpayer’s copy of the 1040 and on pages B-2. E 2. and R-2. all of which are found in the package The designations 1010-1 and 1040-2 were used simply for numbering and indexing purposes and do not refer to any form separate and apart from the 1040 itself. This same approach applies to other in-
structions in the package, which, again for indexing purposes, also have been given alphabetical and numerical designations. The estimated tax forms you sent me said to watch tor changes in the law. Have there been any that would affect my 1970 declaration? A) One change that affects all taxpayers is the increase in tiie amount allowed for personal exemptions. For the 1970 tax year, $625 should be taken for each exemption. The Tax Reform Act of 19G9i increased the amount for per-j sonal exemptions from S6OO toj $650 effective next July 1 when the necessary adjustments will be made in withholding rates Since the change takes place at mid-year, the net effect will be to increase the exemption amount to $625. Also, the tax surcharge has been conunued at a 5 percent annual rate for the period January 1. 1970. through June 30, 19.0, or 2.5 pci cent for the tax year 1970. the new provisions on income avthe newprovisions on income avei aging and capital gains wil affect their de. larations Details on these prov isions and tin tax surcharge may be obtained by willing your IKS district dir ector for Publication 553 or bj contacting your local IRS office Do I handle dividends iron a savings and loan account th same way as other dividends Ai This income should be re ported as interest on line 13 o rmm lv4o. it your total Intel esl mi ome is over SIOO list th amounts you receive on Sched ule B.
