15 Income Tax Booklet Federal Tax Errors New features of the U.S. Internal Revenue bureau’s second (1949) edi tion of Your Federal Income Tax in cluded new chapters on tax treatment of installment sales and appeals pro cedures, a detailed index, and fac similes of the individual income tax forms. The booklet was first issued last year to help taxpayers who find the 16-page pamphlet distributed free with tax re turn forms inadequate. It is designed for those with special problems, or who want more detailed information. It is written in clear language and typographically designed for easy read ing. The booklet quickly became one of the fastest selling publications handled by the Superintendent of Documents, with over. 345,000 being distributed last year. (U.S. Government Printing1 Office, Washington 25, D.C.; 138 pp., 25c.) Income tax administrators in several states this year have been working to give the honest taxpayer, an even break. Vigorous campaigns have been conducted in Arkansas, Georgia, Ken- tucky and Oregon to see to it that all persons liable for tax pay their share. Auditors of Oregon income and cor porate excise taxes have uncovered delinquencies which may yield the state several million dollars, it w,as re ported recently. Most of the older un audited accounts have been kept alive through waivers. Auditors have been checking county records involving sales of property on which income taxes on profits have not been paid. Some teases indicated fraud, and others unintentional error. Hearings are being held in connec- ti on with disputed tax claims in order to clear the income tax dylfiaM s rec ords. Many voluntaryjijpayments have been made, and in some instances the "state has refunded money.
