Any person can fig ure out his liability today as well as h« can next week, and it there Is any point on whlQh he needs advice he can now get in touch with a Revenue man." This word ot advice Is being given out by Interhal Revenue men. Re turns and payments are being col lected In No. Carolina by the following Collectors of Internal Revenue: Joslnh AV. Bailey. Austin D. Watts. Every aid of their offices and field forces Is being given freely to the public. But the Income Tax men will not pull your door-bell or your coat-tails, according to the Collector's announce ment. It Is squarely up to every Indi vidual % to figure out his own case and to get busy If he comes within the scope of the new Revenue law, Did You Earn This Much? Every unmarried persoh who re ceived income averaging $19.25 a week during 1918 and every married couple who Jointly received Income averaging $38.50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector Or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A That form contains the Information he will need to enable him to figure his correct net Income and any lax that he owes the government. The law requires that every unmar ried person who had a net Income of SI,OOO or over and every married per son whose net Income was $2,000 or over (Including the Income of husband or wife and the earnings of minor children, If any) must moke n return on or before March And tills re quirement does not hinge on whether the person owes a tax.

Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the dividends nre deducted as credits from net Income, together with the personal exemption. As In previous years, divi dends of domestic corporations are ex empt from normal tax when received by the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens und residents are as follows: On the first $4,000 of net Income In excess of the credits the rate Is 0 per cent; on any further taxable Income the rate Is 12 per cent. The surtax rates apply to net In come of each Individual In excess of $5,000. The personal exemption and the dividends are not deductible before computing surtax. In the case of re turns by husband and wife, the net In ome of each Is considered separately in computing any surtax that may be due.
