"Don't wait until the final due date,
March 13, for paying pour Income
Tax and making ,V( ur return. Avoid
the last minute rush. Any person can
figure out his liability today as well as
he can next weeH. and If there Is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get in touch with a Revenue man. '
Tills word of advice is from Hubert
U Bolen, Collector of Internal Reve-
nue, Oklahoma City, who Is collecting
the Income Tax In Oklahoma. Collec-
tor Bolen li giving without charge ev-
ery aid of hlg office and his enlarged
field force to help the people get their
payments and their returns In by
March 15th.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your coat-talla,
according to the Collector's announce-
ment It Is squarely up to every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy If he comes within the
scope of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Much?
Every unmarried person who re-
ceived income averaging $19.2.') a week
during 1918 and every married couple
who Jointly received Income averaging
$38.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A.
That form contains the Information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net Income and any tax that he
owes the Government.
The law requires that every unmar-
ried person who had a net Income of
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net Income was $2,000 or
over (Including the Income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, If any) must make a return
on or before March 15. And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes a tax.
Taxable Income.
An Individual must Include under
gross Income all gains, profits and In-
come derived from salaries, wages or
compensation for personal service of
whatever kind and in whatever form
paid or from professions, vocations,
business, sales or dealings in property
of all kinds, interest, rent, dividends
or profits derived from any source
whatever. Very few Items of Income
are exempt.
Deductions Include ordinary and nec-
essary business expenses, interest paid
or accrued on indebtedness, taxes of
all kinds except Federal Income and
excess profits taxes and assessments
for local benefits, losses actually sus-
tained, debts ascertained to be worth-
less and depreciation on buildings, ma-
chinery, fixtures, etc., used in business.
A further deduction is allowed for con-
tributions to corporations operated for
religious, charitable, scientific or edu-
cational purposes or for the prevention
of cruelty to children or animals to an
amount not exceeding 15 per cent of
the taxpayer's net income as computed
without the benefit of the contribution
deduction.
The taxpayer is not allowed to de-
duct any personal, living or family ex-
pense. any amount spent for Improving
property or making good its exhaus-
tion for which an allowance is claimed
under depreciation.
Figuring the Tax.
Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. As in previous years, divi-
dends of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stockholder.
The normal tux rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of
the credits the rate Is 0 per cent; on
any further taxable Income the rate is
12 per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net In-
come of each Individual In excess of
$5,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are nut deductible before
computing surtax. In the case of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net
Income of each Is considered separate-
ly in computing any surtax that may
he due. Form 1040 should be used for
making returns of net Income exceed-
ing $5,000, and the Instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur-
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers und others who paid
wages, salaries, rents, Interest or sim-
ilar determinable gains in an amount
of $1,000 or over during 1018 to any
person must file an Information return
with the Government. Blanks may he
secured from the Collector.
Every partnership must file a return
showing its Income and deductions and
the name and address of each partner,
with his share of the profits or losses
during the past year. Personal service
corporations will file similar Informa-
tion for 1918.
