THIS TELS HOW TO i FIGURE INCOME TAX Squarely Up to Every Individual to Gst Busy by March 15 or Suffer Penalty. ^Don't \v;i'' until the final due date, \ TMarch 35th,' for paying your Income "Tax and making your return. Avoid :the last minute rush. Any person can "figure out his liability today as well as !he can next week, and if tiiere is any point on which he needs advice he can / -nowget in touch with a Revenue man." This word of advice is from Duncan Rmwiwl PnllM^nr of Internal :Revenue, Columbia, who is collecting the Income Tax in South Carolina. Collector Heyward is giving without charge every aid of his office and his enlarged field force to help the people get their payments and their returns In by March 15th. j But the Income Tax men will not I pull your door-bell or your coat-tails, ^according to the Collector's announcement. It is squarely up to every indi- j vidual to figure out his own case and *0 get busy if he comes within the j -scope of the new Revenue law. Did You Earn This Much? Every unmarried person who re- j ceived income averaging $19.25 a week during 1018 and every married couple who jointly received income averaging , $38.50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A. That form contains the information he will need to enable him to figure^Tiis correct net income and any tax that he owes tlfe (iovernment. i The law requires tuat every unmarried person who had a net income of or over and every married person whose net income was $2,000 or over (including the income of husband -or wife and the earnings of minor | children, if ?nv) lnust make a return on or heforafclardi JL5th. And this requirement t^s n<5^Jfcjflge on whether vthe person a tax$ \ Taxable Income. i * ^ An individual must include under jgross income ail gains, profits and in-couie derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of . "whatever kind and in whatever form ; paid 3g?from professions, vocations, business, sales or dealings in property all kinds, interest, rent, dividends -or profits derived from any source "whatever. Very few items of income ~-*re exempt Deductions include ordinary and nec**essary business expenses, interest paid -or accrued on indebtedness, taxes of. *11 kinds except Federal income and ! excess profits taxes and assessments ' tor locjil benefits, losses actually sus-? stained, debts ascertained to be worth*; ' less a n d x k;f >r'tH:i atron brc'biiildinjrs. ma- j -^rnefy^fecrures, etc.. used in business. | JR fiirtlier deduction is atTowed for coir-; "tri but ions' to corporations operated for ; #eiiciou.< clbiritable, scientific or edu- ; j<;,rionrtI purposes or for the prevention - ?!'

Figuring the Tax. # Kefore figuring the normal tax the ' "dividends are deducren as credits from j - - :?i. ' net income, logemer ?wm uic- . exemption. As in previous years, divi- j tlends of domestic corporations are-ex <empt from normal tax when received j *>y the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens ' and residents are as follows: On the i first $4,000 of net income in excess of the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on *ny further taxable income the rate is . 32 per cent. j The surtax rates apply to net in-? ' ' tome of each individual in excess of r" $5,000. The personal exemption and * the dividends are not deductible before * computing surtax. In the case of re' turns by husband and wife, the net income of each is considered separatev iy in computing any surtax that may Ite due. Form 1040'should be used for ' * A- - ^ n/\f iri/?Ainn i HKlKiriK rfiuniu uci iuvm?v ing $5,000, and the instructions on that ; *orm will show how to figure the surtax. Business House Returns. Employers and others who paid : wages, salaries, rents, interest or sim- 1 liar determinable gains in an amount , of $1,000 or over during J91S to any j ' person mast file an infonnation return 1 with the Government. Blanks may be I secured from the Collector. Every partnership must file a return ' showing its income and deductions and the name and address of each partner, ; - ?,;e ?h?n? of thft nrofits or losses HXtH MW *> during the pa si year. Personal service j * corporations will file similar informs- r tion for 1018. j ?* -* INCOME TAX PAYS * * FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS. * "Viewed Id lis largest and truest sense, the payment of titxes is payment for benefits * received or expected Only from + a narrow and essentially selfish % ami shortsighted viewpoint can x the individual propose to him self the evasion of tax liability as a desirable course of action." .?^Daniel 0.
