Tax tips:
1RS lists those who must file
Individuals with income of
more than a certain amount
far their filing status are
required to file federal in
dividual income tax returns,
regardless of whether of not
any tax is due. The filing
requirements for 1M0 are
unchanged
over
the
requirements for 1979.
A single person normally
may have gross income of
$3,300 before he is required to
file a federal return ($4.300 if
over 65). A married couple
filing a joint return normally
may have gross income of
$5,400 if neither one is over
age 65. $6,400 if only one is
over 65. and $7,400 if they are
both over 65 Taxpayers with
gross income of less than
these amounts are not
required to file federal tax
returns, unless one of the
following exceptions apply:
Credit must also file a
return, even if their income
is so low that they would not
have had to do so otherwise.
Other
taxpayers
are
required to file a return if
they are the dependent of
another taxpayer and have
unearned income of $1,000 or
more, or if they are married
and filing a separate return
w ith income of $1,000 or
more
“ Having to file a tax return
doesn't necessarily mean
the taxpayer w ill owe any
tax.” explained Ralph Short,
director of the IRS in Oregon.
“ In some cases, the federal
income tax can be reduced or
eliminated if the taxpayer
has deductions, additional
exemptions,
losses,
or
credits. In fact, most tax
payers who file receive
refunds of over-withheld
ta r n '
Persons who do not fall
under any of the above filing
requirements but have had
Self-employed
persons
whose net income from self-
employment is $400 or more
must also file regardless of
any
other
filing
requirements Anyone who
has
received
advance
payments of Earned Income
taxes withheld from their
pay should file anyway.
Short added, in order to
receive a refund of the
overpaid tax.
Also, some individuals
may be entitled to a special
Earned Income Credit if they
have a sm all amount of
wages or self-employment
income.
Those taxpayers who have
not received their tax forms
and instructions in the m ail
can pick them up at most
local IRS offices and many
banks and post offices.
Forms and publications may
also be ordered by telephone
by calling the tax forms

New tax aimed at bailing out state
The Oregon Department of
Revenue last week mailed
out a new type of income tax
packet to 162.300 Oregon
taxpayers. The new “ es
timated tax” packet went
to peop e who owed at least
$100 stale income tax when
they filed their 1979 Oregon
returns
The
estimated
tax
program w ill require some
taxpayers to estimate and
pay part of their 1901 state
tax in advance for the first
time
The program was
established by the 1960
special session for
the
Legislature to increase state
revenues
Three groups of taxpayers
may have to pay estimated
tax: wage earners who don’t
have enough state
tax
withhe Id ;
self-employed
persons, and people with
taxable income not subject to
withholding,
such
as
dividends,
interests
or
pensions. This does not in
clude Social Security.
The firs t 1981 estimated
tax payment is due by A pril
15, the same date 1980 in
come tax payments are due.
The second payment is due
by June 15; thé rest of 1981
tax is due when the taxpayer
files his or her regular in
come tax return in 1982
determine whether they owe
estimated tax. Some persons
receiving the packets may
not owe tax if their income or
employment situation has
changed. Wage earners may
also choose to have ad
ditional tax withheld from
their paychecks instead of
paying estimated tax.
Persons who believe they
are affected by the program
and who don’t receive a
packet by Feb. 1 may get one
