ara*e refund for the additional
amount claimed.
Q—Should I keep the extra
forms you sent me for estimated
tax? I only needl'd one to make
my deolaration.
A -Yes, the other three pre
addressed voucher forms in the
e.stimated *ax package should be
used for your remaining estimat
ed tax payments. He sure to keep
your estimated tax worksheet
since the figures on it will he
used to determine your payments.
A ri‘mindor notice will be sent
to taxpayers in ad\’ance of the
quarterly payment due in June.
Q—I mailed my return just
before the deadline. When should
my refund come?
A The increased volume of re
turns received by IKS during
April should extend slightly *he
.'>•6 week processing cycle for re
fund returns that are accurately
and completely prepared.
You should have your refund
within 10 weeks from the date you
filed or, in any event, a letter
frf»m IRS explaining why it is

ELECT lEBRY MUILINAX,
CANDIDATE FOB WABO 2 COHHISSIONEB
I am pleased with the progress
Kings Mountain is enjoying at the
present time; yet I, as a candidate,
think there is room for more.
I do not oppose the issues the
Mayor or his Council are striving to
ward today. I am very much involved
in the safety of our cornmunity. As
many of you know we have suffered
several losses of lives due to our rail
road crossings. It would be of great ex
pense to put warning signals at all
crossings I'm sure, but I think SQjme-
tning should be done at the least ex
pense.

wrong on the label on my return.
Should 1 still use the label?
A—Yes. Correct the informa
tion on the label and send it back
with your return when you file.
Use of the label has help^ re
duce the number of refunds de
layed in processing because ot
missing nr inaccurate' Social Se
curity numbers.
Q -The man I worked for ias‘
spring has gone out of business
and I can’t get a W'2 from him.
What should I do?
A-Check to see if you have
any pay stubs from this jobtwhich
would enable you to determine
your income arid tax withholding
from this source. Attach a note
to your re*um shoiwing the em
ployer's name and explain why
this income is not covered by a
W-2. Indicate how you arrived ai
the income and withheld tax fig
ures entered for this employ
ment.
Q My tax came to more ‘han
I thought i* would. Can I pay
half now and the rest in a couple
of months?
A -No. The tax must be paid in
full by the due date of the return.
To avoid a similar situation
next year, arrange with your em
ployer to increase wi‘hholding
tax or file an estimated tax dec
laration and make instalimcntj
payments of the tax due. Lf you i
did not receive an estimated tax
declaration in the mail, ‘he
iorms and instructions may be
obtained from local IRS offices.
Q—Is money from Social Se
curity ever taxable?
A- No. All Social Security ben
efits are tax exempt.
Q - I have to pay tax on both
my 1968 return and my 1969 dec
laration. Can I just wri‘e one
check for the whole amount?
A- It is advisable to write
separate checks or money orders
for the two taxes to make sure
your payments are properly cre
dited. Identify each check with
your name and social security
number and indicate the tax the
payment covers.
The reason for making separate
paymentg is that separate pro-
c^'ssing operations are involved:
for the tax return and for the I
estima*ed declaration. VV'^hen one
payment is made to cover two lia
bilities, it is possible that the en-i
tire amount could be credit^ to
just one tax. This results in a re
fund on one “ax and bill for ad-;
ditional lax on the other.
If you file a joint return while
your husband is in Vietnam, in-,
dieate in the place for his signa
ture that he is serving in a com
bat zone.

WABP S COMMISSIONEB
I feel that having been owner and
operator, along with my husband, of
several businesses, large and small,
(Dry Cleaning, Grocery, and General
Contracting) has given me a knowledge helpful in assisting
in the operation of our city's government.
I also feel the same good sense and hard work that was suc
cessful in obtaining new business, surplus monies, grants
and progressive projects for Kings Mountain will also be
successful in managing these undertakings.
