Closed Sundays IN THE MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTEk All Persons May Use New Short Card Form For State Income Tax Salem Oregon's new punch card income tax form is to be used by all persons reporting personal income re gardless of its source, the State Tax commission has em phasized. The commission reports that since the filing season officially opened Jan. 1, it has been contacted by a num ber of taxpayers who mis takenly believed there was still a long form to fill out. The card-type form 40, re placing the previous four page form, was adopted prin cipally for two reasons: (1) it makes reporting easier and (2) it enables the commission to use electronic equipment Senator Morse to Speak in Grants Pass Grants Pass Sen.

The commission pointed out, however, that informa tion other than that called for by the new form must be provided by taxpayers gross ing $5,000 or more from a business or farm, and by per sons reporting capital gains. Schedules for this purpose are available at most banks and post offices and at com mission offices in Salem, Port land, Astoria, Bend, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Medford, North Bend, Ontario, Pendle ton and Roseburg. . Worksheet for Taxpayer The commission stresses the fact that the worksheet for Form 40 has been prepared solely for the convenience of the taxpayer who needs to make a more detailed compil ation. The worksheet is in tended as a means of organ izing information to simplify the transfer of key items to the Form 40 card. The worksheet does not have to be used, but if it is, the taxpayer should keep it with his records and not mail it with his return. If addition al information is needed by the commission, a field audi tor can check the worksheet or other records from which Form 40 is prepared. Field audits will be increas ed and the number of examin ations of returns by auditors in the Salem office reduced, the commission said. The commission reminded that taxpayers seeking re funds from taxes withheld on wages must file a return and that refund returns are pro cessed in the order received in other words, the earlier the return is filed, the earlier the refund will be issued. The commission also em phasizes that the recent Leg islature established an inter est charge of one per cent per month for income tax paid in quarterly installments. Prior to this legislation there was no charge on installment pay ments. News About Servicemen IN WASHINGTON Henry A. Marcy, parachute rigger first class, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis A.
