THE FREEPORT JOURNAL STANDARD TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1946 TEN 1040 short-form, of the 1040 longform. Here's an explanation of the forms And who can use them. Take form W-2 first: This is the receipt, about the size of a bank -check, which A boss gives A worker to show the money carned 1945 and the tax withheld from In his wages or salary. To use St: Income Must Be Under $5.000 1. Your gross Income for the year -that is, total income, not Just much was left after paying expenses -must be under $5,000.

2. It you had income in addition to your wages, that Income must. not have been more than $100. And the total income must be under $5,000. 3.

Your Income must have been derived from wages, salary, dividends or Interest. Note the kind of income well. Answer 8 few simple questions on the form W-2 receipt, send it to Internal revenue collector, and be sure you don't send any money your with it. He'll check it. If you still owe him tax, he'll notify you and then arou pay him.

If you've been taxed too much, he'll send you A refund. (Actually, he'll use the table on the back of form 1040 to check your return. You can get one of W-2 those forms and check it yourself 11 you want to be sure you've been taxed right.) Now take the 1040 short-form. Used As Both Forms (Form 1040 has four pages. Used one WAY It 18 the short-form.

Used Another way, It is the long-form.) Using 1040 as a short-form, first you gencrally deal only with the page. There you write some facts and figures about yourself--such AR name, number of dependents--and I the wages, salary or Income you had in 1945. When you do that, look at the the back to find your tax. table on It shows the tax on Income up to $5,000. This SAVeS you from figuring it out.

The short- can be used by with Income under $5,000 anyone from any source. That phrasefrom any source--la Important. Don't use form W-2 or the 1040 short-form is you have deductions than 10 per cent Use the of more 1040 long-form, 'There you'll have to itemize the deductions but you'll get. credit for them. Long-Form Now take the 1040 -form: You have to use this figure tax if your Income was your own $5,000 or over, whether from wages or any other source.

This long form is the only one on which you have to figure your own tax. The table won't help. If you have to use this form, take flat minimum deduction of $500 for expenses, even though those expenses were far less than $500. You take that minimum $500 deduction whether your Income WAS $5,000 or $50,000. And you don't have Itemize deductions when you claim your that flat $500.

Just take $500 of your Income. your actual expenses were more than $500, you can claim as much A8 those expenses were.

OVER HALF A CENTURY 01 CONTINUOUS SERVICE 8 "Our food is more tastes much better---cooked on modern range "Dan's work is strenuous and the children play hard all day.

My, how tired and hungry they are when they come home at night. But somehow noticed they stayed tired even after dinner was over. Something wrong? Well, I consulted 8 friendly Illinois Northern Home Economistand she gave me some cooking hints that answered my problem perfectly." Foods have to be healthful as well as good! And that's where your modern range steps in to help you out. The foods you buy probably have all the vitamins and minerals your family needs. But the only vitamins that count are the ones that reach your table.

"So I got busy---took advantage of the help my electric range could give. Now I seal vitamins and minerals in foods instead of pouring them down the drain. I steam fruits and vegetables in small amounts of water. I also use low temperature oven cooking to preserve the natural vitamins in my meats. I never stir foods or lift saucepan covers to let vitamins escape in steam.

"And what a difference I notice in my family! They've lost that dragged-out-after-dinner feeling. My electric range sees that they get all the benefits of health- vitamins. So take a tip from one who knows be sure you choose a vitamin-thrifty electric range when once again they're available to you. Then find out for yourself what a top-notch job of cooking your electric range will do for you, too!" ILLINOIS NORTHERN UTILITIES COMPANY 1.
