Tax Forms
Now Being
Distribution of income tax forms
to about 900000 taxpayers in the
district of Washington and Alas
ka is now under way, according
to Clark Squire, Collector of In
ternal Revenue.
Virtually the entire staff of the
collector’s office is engaged in
preparing the 1943 forms for
mailing. Large quantities are
^ being mailed daily, and distribu
tion in the state should be com
pleted by January 10.
The office is preparing for the
greatest income tax filing period
in its history. While approximate
ly 900,000 taxpayers are listed in
this district, more than a million
returns are expected to be filed,
due to the increase in population
and greater number of persons re
ceiving taxable income.
Two types of forms are being
k distributed. Persons who filed
1942 returns on Form 1P40A
(short form) will receive the 1943
version of the same form, and
taxpayers filing form 1040, cover
ing all types of income and sal
aries in excess of $3000 will be
furnished this type of return.
In addition to the forms and
related instructions, all persons
who filed 1942 returns will re
ceive form 1125 showihg the total
tax computed on their 1942 re
turn and the amount of that tax
paid to the collector during 1943.
This information will be entered
on the 1943 return, and, in sup
port of the deduction claimed on
^ the return for the tax paid in
1943, form 1125 should be attach
ed to that return when it is filed
on or before March 15.

salary or wages subject to with
holding must know the amount of
tax withheld by his employer dur
ing 1943. In view of this neces
ity, every employer is required
to give each employee this month
a receipt on form W-2, showing
how much wages were paid the
employee and how much tax was
withheld.
Squire urged all taxpayers to
prepare and file their returns
early. He pointed out tha tthere
will be two main classes of tax
payers—those who will owe a sub
stantial tax, due to a sharp in
crease in 1943 income over 1942,
and those whose income was more
consistent for the two years and
who must file a return even
though they are substantially paid
up on their 1943 taxes, due to
- - - _ i
withholding, or may have over
paid and are entitled to refunds.
In any case, he explained, early
filing will help the taxpayer
know what his liability will be,
if any, and will make it possible
for him to obtain assistance with
out standing in long lines.

NORTH CAMP POLK, La —
<AP>—Because the induction cen
ter at Camp Upton, N. Y., issued
him a pair of government pants
two sizes two large, Pvt. Illis
Conway is in the tailoring busi
ness today.
I had such good luck altering
my own pants,” he said, "that my
buddies started bringing their
misfits to me. Soon, even the of
ficers were comin ’round.”
Finally the company raised a
fund to buy the private a sewing
machine and he was able to re
pay the men from his profits.
Conway says no one is more
surprised at his tailoring ability
than Conway. In civilian life he
ran a bowling alley.

—If an official survey made here
can be considered a cross-section
of Army opinion, only two per
cent of the nation’s soldiers ex
pect to remain in the army after
the war.
Eighty-six per cent of the men
here said they expect to return
to their pre-induction jobs. Most
of them said they are tioing the
same type of work in the army
that they did in civilian life, and
will require little "brushing up".
Twelve per cent are undecided
as to the future, and don't expect
to make up their minds until
peace is a more solid Drospect.

THE SPIRIT
OF MODERATION
TELLICO PLAINS, Term.—<AP)
—The Dear hunters had settled
down for the night around a
campfire in the Cherokee Na
tional Forest. The conversation
got around to moonshining.
A 72-year-old rugged moun
taineer reckoned he quit making
and drinking moonshine whisky
when the stuff got to hurting him.
Newspaperman Bert Vincent ask
ed him how much it would take
to hurt a man.
‘‘Well, I figured that if a man’s
drinking a quart and a half a day,
it’s too much,” the mountain
guide returned solemnly.
Tell them you saw it adver
tised in The Nugget.
