SEND ME THE BILL
WHAT UNCLE SAM WILL DO
IF YOU DON'T KICK THROUGH
Work on the collection of $6,000,000,000 has been
begun by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. This is the
estimated yield of the new revenue bill. The income tax
provisions of the act reach the pocket-book of every single
person in the United States wtiose net income lor 1918
was $1,000, or more, and of every married person whose
net income was $2,000 or,-more. Persons whose net in
come equalled or exceeded these amounts, according to
their marital status, must Kile a return of income witk thb
collector of internal revenue for the district in wtiich they
live on or before March 15.
Here is what will happen to them if they don't; for
failure to file a return on time, a fine of not more than
$1,000 and an additional assessment of 25 per cent of the
amount of tax due.
For "willfully refusing" to make a return on time, a
fine not exceeding $10,000, or not exceeding one year's
imprisonment, or both.
For making a false or fraudulent return, a fine of not
more than v $10,000, or Imprisonment for noUmore than
one year, or both, together with an' additional assessment
of 50 per cent of the amount of "tax evaded.
For failure to pay the tax on time, a fine of not jnore
than $1,000 imd an additional assessment of 5 per cent
of the amount of tax unpaid t plus 1 per cent interest for
each full month during which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $2,000 personal exemp
tions, taxpayers are allowed an exemption of $200 for
each person dependent upon them .for chief support it
such person is under eighteen years of age and incapable
of self-support. Under the 1917 act, this exemption was
allowed only for each dependent "child." The head of a
family one who supports one or more persons closely
connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by
marriage, or by adoption-is entitled to all exemptons
allowed a married person.
Tho normal' rate of tax under the new act Is G per
cent of the first $4,000 of net income above the exemp
tions, and 12 pegr cnt of, the net income in excess of
$4,000. .Incomes in excess of $5,000 are" subject also to
a surtax ranging from J per cent of the amount of the
net Income between $5,000. and $6,000 to 65 per cent or
the net income above $1,000,000.
Payment of the tax may be made in full at the time
of filing return or in four installments, bn or before
March 15, on or before June 15. on or before September
15, and on or before' December 15.
Revenue officers will vjsit every county in tho United
States to aid taxpayers in making out their returns. The
date of their arrival and the location of their offijees may
be ascertained by inquiring at offices of collectors of in
ternal revenue, postofllceB, and banks. Failure to sej
these officers, however, does not relieve the taxpayer of
his obligation to file bis return and pay his tax Within the
time specified by law, 'JfMJtfs case taxpayers must seek
the Government, not ,tlie Government, the taxpayer. ,
