Collector Tells
New Tax Ruling
The revised rates for with
holding income tax from wages,
provided by the individual income
tax act of 1944, apply to all
wages paid by an employer to
his employees on and after Jan
uary 1, 1945, regardless of when
the wages are earned, J. W. Ma
loney, collector of internal rev
enue, explained this week.
Under the new law, for ex
ample, any wages earned in
December, but not paid to the
employee until January 1 or
later, are subject to the new
withholding rates.
On the average, about the
same amount of tax ¡will be
withheld under the new rates as
was withheld under the old rates.
However, since the rates were
revised to adjust each employee’s
wihholding more closely to his an
nual income tax, in individual
cases the withholding may be
either more or less than before.
Collector Maloney further ex
plained that the withholding re
ceipt, form W-2 (Rev.), for
1944 to be given by employers to
all employees by January 31,
1945, must show all wages ac
tually paid during 1944, togeth
er with the amount of income
tax withheld during the calendar
year.
If any wages earned in Decem
ber are not paid to the employee
until January 1, or later, such
wages must be included on the
1944 withholding receipt, he said.
Inasmuch as practically all wage
earners who may use these re
ceipts as their 1944 returns file
returns on the basis of income
received during the year, inclu
sion in the receipt of any wages
not actually paid in 1944 would
result in incorrect returns.

By January 15
Joseph D. Numan Jr. commis
sioner of internal revenue, has
reminded individual income tax
payers that congress has changed
from December 15, 1944, to Jan
uary 15, 1945, the final date for
filling declarations of estimated
income tax report.
Among the taxpayers affected
by this change in dates are:
farmers who exercised their right
to defer filing declarations last
April 15; others who have al
ready filed 1944 declarations but
desire to change their estimates
by filing amended declarations;
all persons who owe the final in
stallment of 1944 estimated tax.
A bill from the collector for
the final installment of 1944 es
timated tax may be ignored by
a taxpayer who files his annual
return on (Form 1040) and pays
the tax due on it by January 15.
