One has but to make a trip to realize
this fact. Cars are scarce on the high
ways these days, not because people do
not want to travel or cannot afford to
but because four gallons of gas per
week will not take them very far. Then,
too, the larger trading centers are ex
periencing the same handicaps in ob
taining stocks as the smaller centers.
Disappointment soon discourages one
in the policy of trading away from

The federal income tax is, as the
name implies, a tax levied upon
incomes, and it is payable in rela
tion to the amount of income. In
come, for federal income tax pui
poses, means in general any com
pensation for one's services, wheth
er the compensation be in money
or in goods or other services; it

come, as well as because of vari ous
deductions and credits allow
able, only a small proportion of the
number of persons receiving in
come have until recently been sub
ject to the tax. Thus, of the esti
mated 55 million persons in this
country who received income in
one form or another during the cal
endar year 1941, only some 26 mil
lion persosns were required to file
federal income tax returns for that
year, while of these same 26 mil
lion, more than 9 million were not
taxable due to credits and deduc
tions allowable.
As a result of the lowering of
exemptions, many more persons are
now subject to the federal income
tax than before, and for the calen
dar year 1942 it is estiimated that
more than 35 million persons will
file federal income tax, who have

federal tox purposes, an under
standing of the law and applicable
regulations is of prme importance.
An income tax return is a de
claration on the part of the tax
payer of his total taxable income
for the year, together with the va
rious deductions, exemptions, and
credits to which he is entttled. It is
in reliance upon voluntary disclos
ures, and the integrity of tax pay
ers generally, that the cost of ad
ministration of the income tax can
be qept at a minimum. Though the
return is a voluntary statement, any
person who willfully makes a re
turn which he does not believe to
be true and correct in every ma
terial matter is subject to the pen
alties provided by law.
The first requirement of the law
is the filing of an appropriate re
turn. For individuals generally,
this must be done by March 15 fol
lowing the end of the calendar
year. The return must be filed with
the appropriate Collector of Inter
nal Revenue for the disttrict in
which is located the legal residence
or principal place of business of the
person making he return.
Under the present law every
single person, and every married
person not living with husband or
wife, having a total income (earn
ings, together with other income)
of $500 or more, and married per
sons living with husband or wife
throughout the taxable yer, who
have an aggregate income (total
earnings of both husband and wife,
otgether with other income) of
$1200 or more, regardless of the
amount of net income, must file 8
return.
