Nobody Is exempt from Income Tax.
An obligation Is laid directly on the
shoulders o f each cMIzen and resident
to consider his own case nnd to get his
return In on time If one Is due.
With each return showing a tax due
a payment must accompany the return
In the full amount o f the tax or at
least one-quarter o f the tax.
All returns for 1919 must be filed on
or before March 15.

In figuring up his earnings for In­
come tax purpose* a person must take
Into consideration all Item* o f taxable
Income, and each Item Itself must be
accurate In amount. Guesses and es­
timates must be avoided, for the re­
turn Is made under oath.
Everybody who had an Income dur­
ing 1919 must now determine whether
his or her net Income was sufficient In
amount to require an Income Tax re­
turn. The beat way to find out Is to
get a Form 1040A and follow the In­
structions printed on It. That form
will serve as a reminder o f every Item
o f Income; and If a return Is due, It
tells how to prepare and Ale It.
One o f the Important points to keep
In mind Is that s (arson's net Income
Is found by s computation prescribed
In the law, and that each Item of In­
come from every source must be con­
sidered, unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember Is that
the personal exemption allowed tax-
payers by law has no relation whatever
to the requirement to file return. Thl*
exemption Is not to be considered until
a person has figured out his net In­
come and determined whether It was
sufficient to require him to file a re­
turn. Then, If a return must be filed,
he should read carefully the Instruc­
tions for claiming exemption, and com­
plete his return.
I f In doubt on any point as to Income
or deductions, a person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue office. Many banks
and trust companies are also furnish­
ing similar service during banking
hour*.
Heavy Penalties In Law.
For falling to muke a return on time
the penalty Is a fine o f not more than
$1,000 and an addition o f 25 per cent
to the tax. If any. For making a false
or fraudulent return the (tenuity Is s
fine o f not more than $10,000 or Im­
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
both; and. In addition, 50 per cent of
the tax. There are other infinities for
falling to pay tax when due and for
understatement o f the tux through
negligence.
Many 8ources of Income.
Aside from what one may ea r« by
his services, there are many other
sources o f Income. I f he sold any
property during 1919 he must figure
out the gain realised. I f he rented
buildings, land, apartments or rooms
such rents must be considered taxa-
alile, and he may claim deduction* for
necessary expenses Incidental to rents.
Hank Interest Is a common source
o f Income and Is taxable whether with­
drawn or not. Any amount o f Interest
credited to a depositor Is Income to
the deiN>sltor.
Interest on mortgages and notes ts
tnxnhle; also bond Interest received
from corporations.
A taxpayer who cashed his Insur­
ance during 1919 must report as In­
come any excess received over the to­
tal o f premiums paid.
Members o f partnerships or personal
service corporations or beneficiaries of
an estate or trust must report their
shares o f Income distributable to them
whether or not actually withdrawn.
Dividends o f domestic corporations
must be reported. Many other forms
o f Income are taxable, unless specific­
ally exempted.
