Concerning Income Tax
Little Rock, Ark.
February 11, 1918.
Mr. W. W. Raney,
McCrory, Arkansas
Dear Sir: —
There is in the heart of every
American Citizen a desire to do
something to help his Country in
the present crisis. Unfortunate
ly, not every man can be given
opportuninty to help in a sub
stantial way, but this opportuni
ty is yours and I am sure you
will be glad to improve it. With
out cost to yourself in money,
and at little loss of time, you can
very materally help the Govern
ment, as no other man can help so
well; and not only the Govern
ment, but your neighbor also.
The idea prevails in the rural
sections that the income tax is a
rich man's tax and that it does
not apply to small business men
and farmers. This is a mistake.
It applies to every single person
who has a net income 6f $1000 or
more, and every married person
who has a net income of $2000 or
more, for the year 1917. You
will see, therefore, that it applies
to most of your neighbors. Now,
if they dont pay the income tax
when it is due, they will be vio
lators of the aw, subject to pen
alties of 50% of the tax, fine
ranging from $20 to $1000 and
imprisonment in case of fraud.
It is cheaper to pay the tax than
the penalties. By helping the
Government get the tax from
the people liable to it, you will
serve not only them, in warning
them in time so they can
avoid the penalties, but te
Government also.
The shortest way to deteamine
if a person is subject to the in
come tax is to add all the money
(or its equivalent—notes, etc.)
whih he recieves from every
source during the calendar year
1917—from January 1st. to De
cemeber 31st. Then subtract
from this amount the total of his
expenses and other authorized
deductions. “Expenses,” how
ever, does not include personal,
living or family expenses; neither
do they include cost of new
machinery, new buildings, new
silo, new fences, drainage or
ditching. Expenses do not in
clude any expenditure for any
thing of the nature of perma
nent improvements or better
ments, or anything which adds
to the value of the farm. Ex
penses include only what is ac -
tually paid for labor (except to
one’s own male children under
21 and female children under 18),
tools that wear out in a year or
two, repairs for machinery used
on the farm, fertilizer, spraying
material for orchards, ginning,
thrashing, gasoline for power on
the farm, seed for planting,
twine, grease, oil and such like
expenses actually incurred in
producing the year's crop.
State and County taxes are also
deducted, but taxes paid for
drainage and improvement dis
trits cannot be deducted. Now,
when these expenses are added
together and the total amount is
subtrated from the total income
the amount left is “net" income.
If, as above stated, this is $1000
or more in the case of an un
married person and $2000 in the
case of the married person, such
perons must make return of in
come between January 1st. and
March 1st., 1918, to escape pen
alty.
There are thousands of people
in this state who will be affected
by the War Income Tax Law.
They may not hear of it, or of
their duty in time unless you tell
them, because no-one represent
ing the Government will call on
them personally. The law makes
it the duty of the tax-payer to
call on the Collector.
The purpose of this letter is to
appeal to you as a patriotic citi
zen to tell all the people in your
township who are liable that they
must file their returns of income
with the Collector on or before
March 1, 1918.
The income tax collector will
be in Augusta Thursday, Feb. 14
and remain until the 21st. and
all who can should see him. If
you fail to see him, however,
write to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, Little Rock, Ark., add
request a blank form upon which
to prepare your return of net in
come. This should be done in
order that your return of income
may be filed with the collector of
internal revenue before March
1st. 1918.
Yours Truly,
Jack Walker, Collector.
