LANDLORDS, BEWARE!
Profiteer landlords will be held to the
their income taxes this spring. For the
tenants are doing the driving and hold
ing the whip.
Revenge is sweet to the tenant who
lias had to dig deep into his earnings to
pay a high rental in 1919. Gathering
his family around him, he takes his
scratchy family pen in hand, searches
the ink-bottle for that last drop of ink,
and with a master stroke informs the
Commissioner of Internal' Revenue that
he, Bill Brown, of the Hallroom Apart
ments, paid to John Smith, 13 Profiteer
Avenue, Anywhere, U. S. A., $1200.00
for his three-room flat during the year
1919.
By gathering these reports from all
the Bill Browns who are running them
selves ragged to pay their rent, the In
ternal Revenue Bureau will have the in
formation needed to see that the Profi
tcr Smith pays proper taxes on face pro
speculation. ,
The Information Bureau now due
covering payments of salaries, wages,
rent, interest, and other income serve as
useful data for running down tax dodg
ers and for checking up millions of re
turns to see that proper tax is paid.
Large business houses have been
faithfully making these information re
ports for several years and have cooper
ated whole-heartedly with the Govern
ment's checking system. The same obli
gation rests on smaller businesses, and
on professional men; also oii persons
and organizations who employ secre
taries, chauffeurs, servants, or persons
in any capacity.
The Revenue Law requires the filing
of these Information Returns in each
case where the total' of payments dur
ing 1919 to any person, partnership, or
fiduciary was $1000.00 or more. Forms
1099. and 1096, on which the returns
must be made, are now available at the
offices of Collectors of Internal Revenue.
