Improvements
GREEN'SiBORO. — North Caro
lina taxpayers will fini a numbei
of time-saving improvements on
1973 individual income tax re
turns as well as shortened and
sifnplified instructions, North
Carolina District Director of In-
nal Revenue Charles DeWitt said
today.
Describing the long Form 1040
and the short form 1940A,
which are now being printed, De-
Witt estimated that over l.M
million individual returns would
be filed In North Carolina for
1973.
Steps taken by the IRS to im
prove tax forms, DeWitt said
should enable many taxpayers
to compete their returns with
less difficulty and in less time
than last year."
So that taxpayers can file
early and receive funds in less
time than those filing closer to
to the April 15 date line, INAVitt
urged employers to distribute
W-2 wdthholding forms as soon
as possible. W-2's form 1973, gen
arliy, must be distrrii’cuted by
January 31, 1974.
Most taxpayers file in
January reveive their refunds in
four or five weeks, while later
filers may have to wait as long
as eight weeks, because of the
greater volume of returns rc
ceived, DeiWitt said.
Census Suivey
To Be Conducted
A sample of household in this
area will be included in a na
tionwide survey of home upkeep
and improvement costs to be
taken . y the bureau of the
census. The bureau is part of the
U. S. department of commerce’s
social and economic statistics ad
ministration.
Joseph R. Norwood, director of
the Bureau’s Data Collection
Center in Charlotte, announced
that householders will be inter-

- -Reduction in the number of

minations for filing the 1940A
Taxpayers will also find two
lines on their returns relating to
the 1976 Presidential Election
campaign funds checkoff: one
ine permitting them to check off
for 1973, the other providing a
second opportunity for those who
failed to check off on their 1972
return and now wish to do so.
In discussing the instructions
for 1973 returns, DtWitt said the
'RS nas not only shortened the
instructions but has rewritten
.nuch of the material in easier-
o-understand language. This
ihould enable more taxpayers
han before to prepare their own
returns.
DeWitt also said most taxpay
ers will receive their 1974 tax
1 kages in the mail cy the
i ar’i- part of January 19'74. Tax
payers can obtain additional
forms and instructions through
out the filing period of most
banks, postal services stations
and IRS offices in North Caro

The survey Is conducted four

the United State that will be
