bad debts are of such nature that'
T
' .they are clearly deductible items. ,
i Just because the personal income (
Itax form provides spaces in which to
claim an allowance against income j
for uncollectible debts does 'not mean ^

and put them down on his return.- .
Jyc! The space is block A for Bad debts ^

are wholly contrary to the;
If'spirit of the law. The individual debt |
11 j itself, together with the circum-'
If!stances in respect to its becoming

{} j consideration when determining

11 these latter items, any actual losses;,
|- sustained by an individual may be;
I claimed as a deduction as Item 5, j'
| J Block 1, of his return.
| ! Holders of bonds which have be.

|| tained. The amount of such loss will 1
si! be determined by the actual cost; or, ]
? if purchased prior to March 1, 1913,
,the fair market value on that date. t
j As to notes, loans, etc., which a c
fc taxpayer deems uncollectible, the s
t facts in each case will determine j
whether they are proper deductions.
I | They must be ascertained to be t
| (worthless and must be charged off as c
| an asset within the year. If a debt is n
= forgiven it cannot be deducted, for I
p| it thus becomes a gift and as such I
'does npt constitute a deductible item.;
In the case of a lo.an to a relative f
j* |
i' or close personal friend,its character s
'' las a true debt must be proven, if any a
ft ! deduction is claimed when it becomes f
V) I
$ worthless. Worthless debts arising I
I from unpaid wages, salaries, rents, or p
'.similar items of income will not be al- it
lowed as a deduction unless the in- c
jcome such items' represent has been,
'included in the return of income -for c
I'the year in which the deduction as a a
bad debt is sought to bemade or in a 1
'previous year. For instance, a land-jilord
cannot claim an allowance for]
uncollectible rents, unless such rents |
were included as income in his re-.j
turn for the year when charged to his j
[tenant.
!no extensions on
income tax returns j
i Announcement *that there will be
I no general extension of time for fily
jing income tax returns was made by j
1 the Bureau of Internal Revenue to-1 j
jj !day. Complete returns, accompanied j
^ i by at least one fourth of the amount ]1
| of tax due must be in the hands of !
r jcollectors' of internal Kevenue on or j;
[before March 5th, 1920. Extensions i
?*? will be granted only in specific cases (|
?* j where urgent need for additional' I
R time in preparing the return is j,
shown.. j
jj, Last year, if for good and suffi-;
? jcient reasons it was found impossible |j
\ ; to complete a return by March loth. ] j
I corporations and individuals were }
"l permitted to file on or before that I
f, date a tentative return and were j
given an extension of forty five 1
, ,
lays in which to file complete re:urn.
Conditions which justified such
extensions last year do not exist this
year.
Regulations governing the collection
of the income tax have been
jut for almost a year and no substantial
changes have been in i
;hem.
"i oi.r..< lav now in the hands of Co!lectors'.of
Internal Revenue for Jis 1
;ribution amonp taxpayers and there
s every reason to assume that the '
taxpayers have ample time in which
:o prepare and file their returns by
March 15th.
It is important that the taxpayer!'
render before the return due date aj
*eturn as complete and final as it ispossible
for him to prepare. However, 1
n cases of sickness or absence, Col- 1
ectors are authorized to grant an ex
;ension of not exceeding thirty days,;
vhere in their judgment such further!
;ime is actually required for the mak- j,
ng of an accurate return. The appli:ation
for such extension must be
nade prior to the expiration of the :
)eriod for which the extension is desired.
The absence or sickness of one'
>r more officers of a corporation at
;he time the return is required to be
tiled will not be accepted as a reasonable
cause for failure to file the
return within the prescribed time, unless
it is satisfactorily shown that
there were no other principal officers!
available and sufficiently informed
as to the affairs of-the corporation
to make and verify the return. As a
condition of granting an extension of
time for filing a return ,the Collector
may require the submission of a tentative
return and estimate of the tax
on Form 1040?T in case of corporations,
and the payment of one fourth
of the estimated amount of tax.
Where a taxpayer has filed a tentative
return and has failed to file a
complete return within the period of
the extension requested by him. the
complete return when filed is subject
to penalties prescribed for delinquencies.
If before the end of an extension
of thirty days granted by the Collector
an accurate return cannot bo
made, an appeal for a further extension
must be made to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue with a
full recital of the cause? fcr delay.
The Commissioner will not grant an
additional extension without a clear
showing that a complete return cannot
be made at the ersd cf thr> thirty
day period.
INCOME TAX PAYMENTS
'Ca.'/n payments c2 income taxes
should not be sent by mail," says Collector
of Internal Revenue, D. C.
Hcyv.'stv
"Cash sent by mail is always at
;he owners risk of loss; and if lost
>r stolen ,the sender may find him- j
ielf facing penalties for failure to j
)ay his tax on time.
"A taxpayer will find it more prac- j
ical to purchase a post office money j
rder, or draw a check for the a- j
nount of the tax, pavable to the Col- j
ector of Internal Revenue, D. C. j
leyward.
"The first payment, due on or be- 1
ore March 15th', should be attached j
ecurely to the completed return, j
,nd forwarded or delivered to my of- j
ice at The Palmetto National Bankj
Juilding, Columbia, S. C. This first!
layment must cover either the en-]
ire tax shown to be due, or at least i
>ne fourth of the tax due.
"Early payments and early filing |
ifthe returns is urged, in order that j
in overload on the final date, March'
5th, may be avoided."
