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.)

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.

Roseburg Man
Receives Title
PORTLAND (AP - Kenneth
Ford, Roseburg lumber operator,!
has been named lumberman of
the year for 1!W0 by Crow's Lum
ber Digest,' a, lumber industry
marketing magazine published
here.
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.

Crow's said Ford is head of one

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

Roseburg company but the Co

-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

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:
