Cadets Adair, Taylor In Mardis Gras Questions, Answers About Income Tax (This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Ser vice and is published as a pub lic service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers.) Q. I just received a bill for taxes I paid last month. What should I do? A. Write the office which sent you the bill telling them when you made your last payment and where it was sent. Be sure to give your name, address and So cial Security Number. It is pos sible that your payment got sep arated from the return or notice accompanying it. To make sure payments are properly credited, always put your Social Security number on your check or money order. It will also be helpful to write on the check what it is for and to enclose any bill or notice you may have received. Q. If I send in my return now, how long will it take to get my refund? A. Refund claims filed now can be processed and the check is sued in 5-6 weeks. Returns filed in April take longer to process, because of the high volume of returns received at that time. Any error on the return, such as a mistake in figuring the new tax surcharge or a missing So cial Security number or signa ture, will cause delays. If your refund is delayed, wait at least 10 weeks from the time you filed before writing IRS about it. Q. 1 collected state unemploy ment benefits last year. Do I de clare them as income? A. No, state unemployment be nefits are not taxable and do not have to be reported. Q. I support my grandson. Can I claim him as a dependent even though he did not live with me? A. Generally, you can if you provided more than one-half of the child’s support, and the other dependency tests are met. The dependency requirements are explained in the 1040 and 1040A tax instructions. Q. Are scholarships taxable? A. Scholarships and fellowship grants are tax free within cer tain limitations. For more de tails, send a post card to your District Director and ask for Publication 507, “Tax Informa tion on Scholarships and Fellow ships.’ General tax information for students is contained in Publi cation 532, “Tax Information for Students and Parents.’ Both are free. Q. Do 1 have to report my company pension as income? A. If the company paid the entire cost of the pension, the amounts you received usually will be fully taxable. If you paid part of the cost, only a portion of your pension benefits will be taxed. BILL BRACKETT Brackett Named Blue Ridge Field Director Bill H.
