'253? AHOSKIE, N. C. No. 2-Save Money with the Right Form (This is one of a series of articles on federal income tax filing. The articles are based on information provided by the American Institute of Account ants and the North Carolina So ciety of Certified Public Ac countants.) The eve of April 16 will see a i mad scramble in many house i holds to put together the* neces | sary facts and figures for the ! federal income tax returns due on | that date. (April 15 falls on a | Sunday this year, making April 1 16 the deadline.) The last minute rush produces ; not only long lines at Internal i Revenue Service offices, but also I many careless mistakes by tax 1 Most of the errors are very sim pie. For example, about one mil lion returns are filed every year 'with signatures missing. (This in cludes joint returns with only one signature and individual returns with no signature at all.) Little slips in arithmetic last year resulted in overpayments by tax payers of SI8.000.000 Taxpayers got back these over payments eventually, after the government discovered the mis takes. but the taxpayer cannot rely on the government to .-.ave him from all his errors. The mistakes of arithmetic . favoring the taxpayer were even larger—perhaps not entirely by coincidence. All returns are check ed. and when an underpayment is discovered the government not only collects the difference, but also charges interest. Opportunities Overlooked Apart from obvious mistakes, many taxpayers overlook oppor tunities to claim exemptions and deductions, and other ways to re duce their tax. In order to help you avoid such pitfalls, this newspaper is pub- j lishing a series of articles pre pared with the help of the na Are All Cold Remedies Alike? No!

AHOSKIE, NORTH CAROLINA m€RCURY tional and state organizations of certified public accountants. These articles—if you save them and use them along with the official instructions that come with your tax forms—may save you money. Your first step is to consider whether you should file at all. and then what kind of a return to file. For income tax purposes you arei not required to file a return if your gross income in 1955 was less than $600. or if you are 65 or older and had less than $1,200 gross income. But if you had in come from selfemployment of S400 or more, the return must be filed for social security tax pur poses. Don't forget that tax on salar> or wages may have been with held during the year by your employer, even if your income was less than $600. and the only way to get it back is to file a tax return. Advantage of Joint Returns A common mistake is the filing of a separate return by a wife w ho had a small income. If the wife files a separate return, she is not permitted to file another return jointly with her husband, nor is her husband allowed to claim an exemption for the wife on his separate return. Most married couples will save money bv filing a joint return, as this "splits” their income to put them in the same bracket as though each of them had received half the total income. There are unusual cases, how ever. such as those involving capital losses, in which separate returns might result in a saving If this is a possibility, it is best to figure both jointly and sep arately before deciding which way to file. The instructions that come with your tax forms give further information. Help is also avail able from the Internal Revenue Service, which urges you to con sult a properly qualified adviser if you need outside assistance.
