Income Tax facts You should Know. ~_The Bureaun of Internal Revenue has innumerable sources for checking up persons who fail or “willfully refuse” to tile an income tax return and pay the amount of tax due. One of these is “the information at' source” provision of the revenue act which requires that reports must be made by all persons, trustees guardians, fiduciaries, and by partnershipa, personl service corporations and or‘ganizations of payments to others during the year 1920 of $l,OOO or more. A separate return of information for each employee whose salary is $l,OOO or more is required of employers. The return must show the name and address of each recipient and the amount paid. These information returns which are filed with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington D, C., are carefully checked with the returns of individual income. If John Doe, who has received a salary of $l,OOO or more during the year 1920, has failed to report this payment in his personal return, he will hear from the collector of internal revenue. : Thousands of delinquuents have been discovered and penalties and taxes aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars have been collected as the result of this audit. )
