Form
b Consolidated
Greensboro, N. C. - Each of
the IS million taxpa>ers in the
United Slaves wlio filed the now
diseontinued caid 1040A form
last year, has leeeivetl a post-
caid e.xplaining the change to
the new consolidated 1040 form,
the Internal Revenue Service
annoumed to: ay.
This year all taxpayers will
receive a larger, complete tax
package that includes the one-
page basic 1040 and additional
pages or schediuJes, which may
or may not be us<*d according to
the ta.vpayer’s needs.
Past KMOA-usei's will find that
except for a few lines, the new
1044) asks for the same infonna-
tion as the old caixi form and
that they will probabl) not need
to fUj out more than one sheet
of paper to make out their re-
ums, the card says.
In the past, taxpayers who
us(Hi the 1040A could not take
advantage of certain* tax credits
or exclusions and could not item •
. ize their deductions. A principal
reason for making the change
to the new form is to enable tax
payers to take full advantage of
the tax benefits the law pro
vides, the postcard says.
Most taxpa>^rs should receive
their individual tax forms and
instructions by mail the first
week of January.

Advisory Group
Meeting Tuesday
Q. The bank asked me to get a
social security number for my
two-months old son. Why does he
need a sociaj security number?
A. Social security numbers are
needed by the bank to report in
terest income to Internal Revenue
Service. In other words, a social
security number is also u.sed for
tax purposes.
Q. My name is “Smith” so my
social security card shows this
name. There -must be two million
other “Smiths." How does social
security keep my earnings under
.social security separate?
A. You’re right! There are over
two million “Smiths.” However,
you’re the only Smith with your
social security number. Your num
ber keeps your record separate
from all others.
Q. My father died last year and
my mother, age 51, received the
LSDr. Sin’ce his death she has
become disabled with a severe
heart condition. Can she receive \
disability benefits as his widow?
A. Disabled widows betw'oen
age 50 and 60 may be eligible for
disability payments on their de
ceased husband's earnings. You
should have your mother contact
her local social .security office as
soon a.s possible.
