TUESDAY, MAY 22. 1951 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE SLEVBN Today's Payments for Domestics Major U. S. Headache By nOROTHV ROE frun Editor IBM- requiring sorlnl so- rurity pnymfints for dnmrsllc workers looks llkr II might dp- velop Into one of Unrle Sam's mn.jnr hpflriflrhes. Thp Bureau of Inleinnl novrnur still lifls no final figures or how ninny housewives hnvc sent in payments for their household workers, or whether the returns fire measuring up to expertntions.

Humor has it, however, dim the cals nren't paying up as well ns expoctert. for various reasons. The most common reason Is I he objection of the workers themselves, who resent having percent withheld from their pay checks, and further fear getting mixed up in any type of governmental red tape. Many domestic workers, it appears, have not been paying Income taxes, even though their earnings were above tho stipulated ISGOO year. These maids and cooks and butlers figure that once they are listed on I'ncle Sam's social security rolls, they also will be liable for income tax payments.

A spokesman for the Bureau of Internal Revenue said: "This, of course, is true. Domestic workers' incomes above JfiDO a year are taxable, and the uncial security records, will pro-I vide basis for collection." The hurPRii has no workable way of checking payments, at present. The original plan to form a mailing list from written requests for return foi ms Hut as il worked out, more housewives called In person at the various offices of 1he interim! revenue department than sent in request cards. Sn Ihe government's mailing list Is far from complete Those housewives who d'ri write for forms were automatically placed mi the government mailing list. An Addressograph was prepared bearing name, nddn-ss nwl number.

Thereafter forms are nmiled out before Ihe end of each quarter, to he filled out and returned with the social security payment. Asked what plans had been made for checking "up on delinquent taxpayers, Ihe spokesman said: "It's a tough problem. It's even harder to check than Income tax payments. I don't think any concrete plan has been worked out as yet." Penalties for delinquent payments on social security taxes are the same as for Income percent a month up to a iruiximum of 22 percent. There is no plan at present to imprison housewives who don't pay up.

This, il is explained, is not legally possible unless a definite intent of fraud can be Rrv.
