Alas, the government is still pretty stodgy about these mat ters. All it's done since last year is to plug a few loopholes here and open a few there. Maybe the nicest development all year was a law by Congress which allows bigger medical ex ipense deductions for taxpayers! who have dependent' parents 65 and older. They no longer must exclude medical expenses equal to 3 per cent of their income. (If this is rff interest to you be sure to see the fourth dispatch in this series for more details.) There , are other changes in the 10, money, vou may omit line which says "enter tax." This is the only circumstance in which you don't have to in clude with your return a check for the taxes you owe. But all you gain is time, for eventually j probably in a few weeks IRS will send a bill. A reminder: If your income was $5,000 or more you must fig ure out your income tax yourself, even on the short form. It's not hard to do and for incomes un der $5,000 it's even easier.

Ford is president and founder of the Roseburg Lumber Co., Crow's said. He was selected for the honor on Ihe basis of general industiy leadership, particularly rules but thev are pretty minor. The series will mention some of the instruction booklet that comes them as it Eoes alone.

His address ts on Page 2 of I in the field of plywood marketing. Crow's said Ford is head of one of the largest independent lumber und plywood operations in the na sure about it, you should consult your Internal Revenue Service of fice by phone or your lawyer, accountant or tax specialist. All this means, that the 60 mil lion taxpayers who must file re turns by April 17 will be follow ing pretty much the same rules as in the past few years. April 17? Not April 15? April 17 it is. That's a tem porary change this year. The usual April 15 deadline falls on a Saturday in 1961. So taxpayers have two days' grace, until Mon day, April 17. Who must file a return? Any citizen or resident of the United States: of 10 per cent of income. If you want to take itemized deductions because they would add up to more than the 10 per cent sum I you must file the middle form or Ihe long form. (For more. de tails on deductions see the fourth dispatch of this series.) The middle form, 1040W, Is two pages.. Last year, the first it was out, some seven million taxpayers used it. You may file, on 1040W jf your income consists only of wages or salary (regardless of amount) and not more than $200 of inter est and dividends. You may hot use it if you have income from other sources, such as property tion today, including not only his Roseburg company but the Co auille Lumber Co. and Ihe Doug. las veneer plant at Bandon. -Under 65 who earned $600 or or rent, or if you report capital gains or losses. The long form, 1040, is a must for taxpayers claiming deprecia tion deductions or reporting in- more in 1960. 65 or over who earned $1,200 or more in 1960. Who expects a refund for tax es withheld regardless of the amount of income earned. This would apply, for example, to a student who earned less than $600 during the summer. It also would apply to a tax payer who can get a refund be cause he had very large deducti ble expenses, such as big medical bills or interest payments on a mortgage. Regardless of the reason you are entitled to a refund, says the Internal Revenue Service, you will get it faster the sooner you file your return. To file, you complete and mail one of three return forms and enclose a check if you owe Uncle Sam money. The forms are: 1Q40A, the short form. come from pensions, annuities, rent, royalties, estates, partner-i ships, and other sources, or those with retirement income credits.
