Now these'terms will have real meaning as you file your income tax return under the new tax law, containing thousands of changes in its 929 pages. Some taxpayers may find April 15th—the new deadline for most individuals—a worse shock than March 15th used to be. Most of us, fortunately will find the new tax a little easier. For one thing, a reduction of about 10% in rates took effect in January, 1954, and has been reflected in the amount of tax withheld from pay since then. But the difference is not just in the rates. The new tax law— passed after the rates were re duced—includes many special ad justments aimed at helping peo ple who particularly need relief. You’ll get some of these benefits almost automatically as you fill in the blank. Others must be dug out of the fine print. That’s why it is particularly important this year not to wait until the last minute, but begin studying your tax returns early.
