SMALL PART OF RETURNS FILED Deputies Collectors Caution Taxpayers March 16 Is Deadline Only a small percentage of wage and salary earners of Massillon and Its neighboring territory have filed their income tax returns, deputy revenue collectors at the city hall said today. Although midnight March 16 is the deadline for filing returns, the of persons filing returns here dwindled Tuesday, due possibly to the fact that many thought the office was ciosed because of Washington's birthday anniversary, the collectors said. The collectors urged taxpayers to "keep on coming" if they desire to keep out of the biggest tax filing jam in the history of the local collectors. Approximately 100 tax forms are being filled out daily by the deputies at the city hall. Hundreds of other taxpayers are receiving help from their employes, lawyers, accountants and other persons.

Payments Must Be Made Many taxpayers also have filled out their own returns and are holding them until 'they can scrape up enough funds to make payment not later than March 15. The payment that must accomp. pany each return cannot be less than the unpaid balance of the 1943 income and Victory tax as shown on line 20, page of form 100, or line 14 of form 1040A, the short form. Taxpayers, however, may postpone up to 50 per cent of the unforgiven part of their 1942 or 1943 income tax as shown on line 19 (c), page 4, of form 1040, or line 11c of the simplified form, until March, 1945. The deputies said that confusion about filing of 1944 declarations of estimated tax has started groundless rumors that the March 15 deadline for filing annual income tax returns has been extended.

Income tax estimates, like those filed in September and December last year, must be filed by certain taxpayers as soon as internal revenue bureau officials set a new date. The deadline for filing the first estimated return this year has been extended to April 15. Those who. must file estimated returns this year are single persons carning over $2,700 and married persons earning over $3,500 whose earnings are subject to the 20 percent withholding tax and persons having income from other sources.
