March 15.—The state IV-' pnrtment of Revenue, as .well as the; office of the U. S. Collector of lu-j ternnl Revenue, were almost snowed under by the thousands of income lax returns and the similar number of checks which accompanied them. Forc es of extra assistants to, the regular employes worked at top speed last night and this morning, trying to keep up with the rush of returns. Both offices will be kept open until midirght to take care of the many last-minute returns that will be senp ip. After midnight tonight, there-will be a pen alty attached on all returns, though returns bearing a postmark up until midnight tonight will be accepted without penalty, though not actually received until Weduesday. Indications are that the state in come tax collections will considerably exceed those of a year previous, though it has beep impossible to tal all the receipts of the last two days, nrtfl R. A. Dough ton, Commissioner of; Revenue is hopeful that auch will be the.case. The estimated revenue from individual income tax returns for the fiscal year 1926-27, into which year the present collections will fall, is sl,- 716,700. However, collect iSns for 1925-26 amounted to $1,728,710, nnd indications so far are that these fig. ures will be surpassed. Total income tax collections, from both domestic and foreign corin.ra tions as' well as from individuals, for the fiscal -year 1925-26, amounted to $6,054,757, and the estimated income for the present fiscal year is $0,222,- 200 though indications are that it may reach $7,000,00 or more. There has been some slight misun derstanding on the part of payers of indivjdual incomes taxes, some evident ly thinking that the exemptions for the state tax were the same as for the federal tax; however, this is not the case. The state tax is levied upon all single persons having an income of , SI,OOO a year or more, and upon all ; married persons having an income of $2,000 a year or more, who are allow ed an additional exemption of S2OO for ’ each child or dependent. , It is stiH too early to'hazard an es timate of what the collections of the Federal income tax will amount to, according to Gilliam Grissom, collect , or but indications are thnt It will also . exceed last year’s collections, which amounted to $17,678,000.
