Guesses and estimates must be avoided, for the turn is made under oath. Everybody who had an income during 1919 must now determine whether; his or her net income was sufficient in amount to require aa Income Tax re-; turn.

This 4 v exemption is not to be considered until a person has figured out his net in-; come and determined whether it was sufficient to require him to file a re-! turn. Then, if a return must be filed, he should read carefully the Instructions for claiming exemption, andf complete his return. J If ir doubt on any point as to income or deductions, a person may secure fref advice, and aid from the nearest Internal Revenue office. Many banks ? and trust companies are also furnishing similar service during banking j hours. Heavy Penalties in Law. For failing to make a return on time the penalty Is a'fine of not more than $1,000 and an addition of 25 per cent " to the tax, if any. For making a false . or fraudulent return the penalty is a line of not more than $10,000 or im'/ prisonment not exceeding one year, or both; and, in addition, 50 per cent ol the tax. There are other penalties ior failing to pay tax when due and for understatement of the tax through |g? negligence. Many Sources of Income. Aside from what one may earn byj his services, there are many other j sources oif income. If he sold any property during 1919 he must figure out the gain realized. If he rented buildings, land, apartments or rooms , ! such rents must be considered taxaable, and he may claim deductions for j necessary expenses incidental to rents.1 Bank interest is a common source of Income and is taxable whether with-; drawn or not. Any amount of interest credited to a depositor is income to the depositor. Interest on mortgages and notes is taxable; also bond interest received from corporations. A taxpayer who cashed his insurance during 1919 must report as income any excess received over the to^ tal of premiums paid. ~ | Members of partnerships or personal service corporations or beneficiaries of an estate or trust must report their shares of income distributable to them ?1 ? o/vt-naii , trif-hflrawn WDPlH.fr Ul uui aiLuuuj Dividends of domestic corporations must be reported.
