Deadline Nearing For Filing Tax Returns
Have you prepared your federal in
come tax return yet? If not, the time is
getting close. And returns prepared in
haste are more likely to have errors in
them. You can save the Internal Rev
enue Service and yourself valuable time
and money by carefully checking your
tax return before you mail it.
The following check list will be help
ful:
1. Check arithmetic.
2. Attach Forms W-2 from all em
ployers.
3. Sign your return. Both husband
and wife must sign a joint return.
4. Print or type name and address,
including zip code.
5. Use correct tax table.
6. Total your deductions if you item
ize them on page 2.
7. List your Social Security number
correctly. Both husband’s and
wife’s number should be reported
on the joint return.
Remember that for income tax pur
poses a wife is never a dependent of her
husband. The exemption allowed her is
based upon the marital relationship, not
on dependency.
A husband may claim his wife’s ex
emption on his separate return only if
she has no income and is not the de
pendent of another taxpayer. Husbands
and wives may file joint returns even
though one of them has no income.
If the wife had income in any amount,
the husband can claim his wife’s ex
emption only by filing a joint return
with her. On a joint return, income and
deductions of both husband and wife
must be included, and both must sign
the return.
Do you have a refund due on your
federal income tax return? By mailing
it to the correct address, it will help
speed the processing and refunding pro
cedures involved by eliminating one
handling operation.
North Carolina taxpayers should mail
returns showing refunds directly to the
Southeast Service Center at Chamblee,
Georgia. The address is 4800 Buford
Highway, Zip Code 30006.
A preaddressed envelope for this pur
pose is included with your tax form
package. If it was mislaid or lost, a new
