to use form 1040, regardless of
whether his net income was or was
not in excess of $5,000. The smaller
form, 10-10A, is used for reporting in
porting incomes of $5,000 or less de
rived chiefly from salaries or wages.
Forms have been sent to persons
who last year filed returns of income. ;
Failure to receive a form, however,
does not relieve the taxpayer from
his obligation to file a return and pay
the tax on or before March 15, 1926.
Copies of the forms may be obtained
fro moffiees of collection of internal
revenue and branch offices. The tax
may be paid in ful or in four equal
installments due on or before March
