If you are like Jon? maybe it
would help you with your own
income tax return to see how he
did it. step by step.
First, Jones saved himself a lot
of trouble by reading the instruc
tions and the form carefully.
Second. Jones made it easy by
getting together the figures he
would need. Hero are the figures
?? collected :
a The amount f his 1943
? ? . i amount of income
ax and victory tax taken out of
his wages by his empl yer. Ho
got both of these figures from his
cm; v.-r on a roct ;pt 'Form

b. The amount of ^her in

.nd . ? ? >\v much he paid on it.
? 'ones copied : he.se figures from
? Form 1 1 25 > which was
mailed him by the Collector of
Internal Revenue
Now. Jones was ready to fill ,
u? his return. He put ci wn his j
name address. occupation and
ocial security number.
Now let's follnv what he did
icrording to the number on the
return form
Ii.em 1 That's wages and
: "r kinds of pay Jones cam
? d $50 a week last year, working
is a clerk for the Henry Smith
ompany in his home town. Of
course, there were a lot of things
such as war bonds, taxes, and un
: >n dues deducted from his pay
?k every week, but Jones had
.0 put down t. e lull amount of his
w.i.-es. which came to $2,600. op
posite the name of his employer.
Tv:n 2 Here he put down the
$25 interest he received on his
.-avinps. Incidentally. Jones
owns war bonds, too. but unless
you elec to accure bond interest
you don't. have to figure the in
tere-* on war bonds until you
cas :hem or they mature.
It ? in 3 He added the $2 600
and tlie $25.
It :n 4 J one - has a young
<iau-. named Mary, so he
w^.ro ::er name down and. as the
form direr >. wrote his credit of
$385 over in the money column.
Item 5 He subtracted the
credit e got for Mary from tlv
last figure.
Item 6 Ho turned over the
form and looked over the boxes
at the top of the page to see which
one fit him. No. 4 was "it", and
he put a cheek mark there. That
mean; that jones would find his
income tax in column C of the
tabic Jones' figure in Item 5
on the front page was $2,240 He
looked in the table for a line
where that figure would fit He
found a line which said "over
$2,225 but not over $2,250". and
then looked across to Column G,
where it said $159 That is
Jones* income tax and he wrote
it in Item 6 on the front page.
Have a Coca-Cola = Welcome home
. . . a way to revive old times
Among the things the returning soldier finds unchanged is the pause
that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola. Have a "Coke" says relax and
be yourself. Around .'he world Coca-Cola stands for the pause that
refreshes , ? has become the familiar greeting of friendly folks.
?OTTIED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THI COCA-COLA COMPANY ?Y
COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. ? Aaheville, N. C.
It's natural for popular namrs
to acquire friendly abbrevia
tions. That's why you hear
Coca-Cola called "Coke".
Item 7 ? This time. Jones had
to do some figuring at the bot
tom of the back page, where it
says "victory tax " On line * a"
. e copied the figure he had in
I: em 3 on tue other side, which
was $2,625. On line * b" h? put
'.us victory tax exemption of $624
Then he subtracted and put the
. difference of $2,001 on line "c".
1 Then Jon< s noticed t ie two-lino
table of percentages, found the
percentage which fit him< mar
tied. one dependents and put a
.?irvle around it. His percentage
i- 2.9. He was a little rusty on
; decimals, so he looked in the
I ( xamples to see how to multiply
ir - found he had to multiply
I >2 001 by .029. an.! attain the ex
imples helped him move the deci
I mal points around to the right
: urs Tliis arit unetic showed
lm his victory t.ix was $58 03
i?\} lie wrote that figure on line
d" on the tack page and the
a me figure in Ilem 7 on the front
! pa<?e.
Itrm 8 He added he two
\ -? together and found the tax
n his 1943 incorr. wi- $217.03.
Item 9 He i i iv had made
.' note of the fact t r is income
for 1M2 wa 1*417. and he
?a: te it down here
i : i : i " i ? 1 1 ' 1 1 1 : l hi ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ! i it li
tllllllllllllllllltlt'llllllill
Item 10 The figure in item 8
was bigger ihan the figure in
item 9. so he put the item 8 fig
ure of $217 03 here.
Item 11 Since the item 9
figure was smaller, he put that,
figure in item 11 -A. Next he had
io figure three-fourths of $84 17.
which is $63.13 That's more than
$50 so :.e put $63.13 in item 11 B
Tins was the forgiven part of his
tax. Subtracting, he found his
unforgiven 1942 tax was $21 04
Item 12 By adding $217.03
and $21 04. Jones found his total
rax was $238 07 That would be
r. lot of tax for Jones to pay all
at one time, but now we have a
pay-as-you-go-system. and Jones
.?oon found how that helps.
Item 13 From the figures he
prepared before he started to fill
out his return. Jones put down in
Item 13- A the $171.60 tax his em
ployer took out of his wages, and
put down in Item 13-B the $42 09
e had pai 1 on his 1942 tax He
didn't have anything to put down
in Item 13-C because he didn't
have to file a declaration of es
limated tax" lost September or
De. ember. So he added up the
ther two figures and found he
had already pai i $213.69 of his
tax.
Illlll'lllllllllllllllllll;!1 iilllli:illll!IH!i||!!:' "IIHIir illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Item 14 ? That left the differ
ence. $24 38. which is all Jones
owed on account of his 1942 and
1943 taxes.
Item 15 But Jones found he
; could postpone until next year
' what he owes up to one-half of
the $21 04 he wrote in Item 11-C.
Half is $10 52 and he writes that
in Item 15
Item 16 That left $13 86
which is all that Jones had to
pay before March 15.
Item 17 ? Jones didn't put
anything here because he didn't
ave any refund coming to him.
Now. at the bottom of the pace.
Jones wrote the date, signed his
name, and that was all there was
to it. lie put the return, a check
for $13.86. and the statement
?Form 1 125 > on his 1942 tax. in
an envelope mailed it to the Col
lector in his locality and he was
square with Unclr Snm.
