Tax tips
Do-it-yourself
GREENSBORO - Last
year more than one million
North Carolina taxpayers
prepared their own federal
income tax returns, an In
ternal Revenue Service
spokesman said.
With no change in the forms
this year, even more may be
able to figure their own taxes,
according to the IRS.
This is especially true if the
taxpayer files the short form
1040A, the spokesman said.
This one page form contains
only 17 lines and comes with
3tep-by-step instructions
explaining how to fill it out.
The IRS offers a service to
1040A filers that enables the
.taxpayer to complete the
return down through line li,
sign it and send it in. The IRS
.will compute the tax and send
the refund or bill the taxpayer
for the additional tax.
For those taxpayers
figuring their own tans this
year, the IRS offers more that
M free publications on various
tax topics.
These publications can be
ordered by calling the forms

Car goes haywire, crashes into swamp
Hertford resident
Washington Vera Lyons had a
real scare when he lost control
of his vehicle on Covent
Garden Street Monday night.
The accident had Hertford
policeman Vernon Brooks
Hart scratching his head over
what he felt was a very
unusual auto accident.
Lyons was attempting to
make a left turn to park his
car in front of his barber shop
on King Street when the car
went haywire, he said.
The car's steering, and
brakes failed, and the ac
celerator got hung up. Instead
of turning, the car roared
straight ahead, right up
Thomas Roger's driveway at
the end of Covent Garden.
Lyons' 1973 Chrysler tore
down the fence in Rogers'
back yard and continued ISO
more feet before coming to
rest upside down in the swamp
and brush behind Rogers'
house, Hart said.
Lyons' car was demolished,
and an estimated $250 in
damages was done to the
fence, Hart said. (
Lyons came out of it unhurt,
though a little shaken.
Take ? minute on thli special day to think about agriculture:
? Our nation's *1 Industry -
assets of >927 billion
? Our Nation's *1 Employer?
over 15 million people.
? Our Nation's *1 Inflation
Fighter? productivity growth !
times greater than non-fdrm
industry over past 3 years.
? Our Nation's ?! Exporter?
?40 billion In 1980.
The efficiency of CI.S agriculture helps
make it possible few us to spend less of
our after ta? income on food and earn
food items i" less time than consumers
in other nations around the world
| For example the typical American
works 16 minutes to earn I pound ol
sirloin sleak ? compared to 34 in
France 60 in the Soviet Union. 174 in
Japan, and 455 in the People s Republic
of China *
Agriculture? the heartbeat of our nation s economy. It s a big part
of what makes America strong A story that every American can be
proud of. Let s salute it on Agriculture Day, 1981!
