Your Income Tax ? 1 Almost Everyone Must File By FRANK O'BRIEN AP Newsfeatures Tliis is the time of year wher | every citizen or resident of tht j united biaies who had as mucf as $600 Income lasf year ($1,200 II ! you were 65 or olden must file s federal income tax return. You will be filing this year un der a revamped income tax law that made If major changes for the individual income tax payer, all H in the taxpayer's favor. Later Filing First oil. the new law gives you until April 15 to get your return made out and mailed to your dis trict director of internal revenue That >s a month more filing time than you had under he old law But it's still the ea ly filer who gets the early refund, and the late and hurried filer who ?is likely to make costly mistakes. The 1954 Internal Revenue Code introduced something new that will take a direct bite out of the tax liability of millions of people. This is the "tax credit" which may allow you to deduct a percentage of your income from dividends, or retirement funds, directly from the tax you otherwise would pay. The previously existing deduc tions.exclusions and exemptions of income are carried over into the new law. Some new ones have been added. But in addition, there are the two new tax credits for those who can claim them. You cannot claim these credits if you use form 1040A. They can only be claimed on form 1040. I J This new concept has brought about considerable revision of the tax forms, but the same forms? 1040A and long or short 1040? are still the basic returns for all taxpayers, and the district direc tor's office still does the figuring for users of 1040A. In making out an income, tax return you are still going through the same basic process you always have?reducing your total (gross> income to your taxable income. New Credits But the new credits may add a profitable final step for those who have either dividend or retirement income. Under the old system, you first set aside, out of the tax laws' reach, all possible income under the head ings of exemptions, exclusions and deductions. That gave your taxable income, and told how much tax you owed for the year. Under the new system, persons with enough retirement or dividend income, from specified sources, will subtract a percentage of that in come from their tax liability. That will give them their tax. In addition to apy tax reduction that comes your way because of the new tax law. you are paying at rales which, for most people, are about 10 per cent lower than rates of a year ago. Pick Your Form The revenue service has mailed each taxpayer (he same kind of form he used last year. But you should use the form best suited to your 1954 income. You can get additional forms of all kinds from your local bank or post office, or at anv revenue service office. Have enough forms to keep a copy of your return, and hang on to the receipts and other records that back up your return. During tax paying time, the Library Notes 1 Margaret Johnston ' !
