1RS warning
With less than two weeks re
maining until the April 17 dead
line for filing Federal income tax
returns, the Internal Revenue
Service cautions taxpayers to
spend a few minutes after the
forms are completed to double
check their work.
According to the IRS, many
taxpayers who postpone their
tax work until the closing days
of filing season submit tax re
turns containing mistakes which
are apparently the result of hasty
preparation.
Such mistakes, including math
errors, missing entries and unal
lowable deductions, can often
delay the processing of a return.
For taxpayers expecting refunds,
the delays caused by certain
errors can set back receipt of the
refund by several weeks.
Each year the IRS urges tax
payers to file early, but millions
nevertheless wait until April to
complete the annual task
Unpaid loans
NEW BRUNSWICK,
N.J.
(CH) - Rutgers University has
reluctantly readmitted a student
who avoided about $25,000 of
loan obligations by declaring
bankruptcy. The university had
balked at accepting the student
but a federal court had ordered
it to do so.
The university contemplated
an appeal but decided not to
pursue the case when the De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare advised the institu
tion that corrections of abuse of
the student loan programs could
be best handled administratively,
rather than through the courts.
One Rutgers administrator al
so said "It would have been bad
public relations to pursue the
case," noting that the student
involved is handicapped and a
minority.
Crime survey
BOSTON, Mass.(CH) - If all
39 students in the current Crime
in America class at Boston Col
lege were to be punished to the
full extent of the
law for
crimes
they have committed
they would spend an average of
15 years in prison and pay
$10,335 in fines. This startling
report was the result of a survey
of class participants who admit
ted to numerous crimes from
littering to buying and selling
drugs, from shoplifting to steal-
ling articles worth over $50.
The survey was taken to illus
trate the pervasiveness of unde
tected crime in American society
and to demonstrate the inaccur
acy of the FBI uniform crime
report.
