File Income Tax
Return Early For
Quick Refund
C. A. Johnson of the Huntsville
Internal Revenue Office advises
ybutoget your return in early if
you think you are due a refund
from Uncle Sam on your 1953
income tax payments—and, if
you’re right, you’ll get a check
from Uncle Sam that much
quicker. Quicker yet than if you
were to wait until the filing
deadline of March 15.
Refunds may be brought about
by several situations. If you have
reason to believe that your rec-
ognized expenses are greater
than average—to the government
about 10 per cent of your income
—figure it out with the tax form
and instructions in hand.
Was there a new addition to
, the family last year? Or did a
close relative come to live with
you, supported by you? Did you
have a lot of medical bills? Did
you have heavy interest pay-
ments on your home. Did your
various recognized deductions
amWnTTo'Mmennfrg^Wr 10 per
cent of your income in total?
If. after careful analysis, you
find that this is so, and if the
government agrees with your fig-
ures—you’ll get money back.
Your government wants you to
get this money. It wants a square
deal from everyone, payments
for what* has been set for your
income bracket, no more, no less.
So. if you think you’re entieled
to a refund, fill out your return
carefully and rush it in. If your
return is complete and correct
you’ll probably get one of those
greenish blue checks in three or
.four weeks. Send your return to
the District Director of Internal
Revenue. Austin, Texas.
