INCOME TAX TIME
LIMIT EXPLAINED
Roper Details Conditions For,
Filing Returns After
March 15
Washington, Feb* 21.—Daniel C. j
! Roper, commissioner of internal |
revenue, issued yesterday a detailed!
.explanation of the conditions under:
which an extension of time beyond!
-March 15 wHI be granted for filing!
income tax returns.
I The system is designed to meet)
i only urgent cases and will permit;
j the filing on March 15 of an esti-!
; mate of income in cas'e the exact!
I amount is not then available. Pay-1
■ ment of one-fourth of the amount;
i of the tax received on the basis of j
| the estimated income must accom-1
pane the estimate, with the under-1
standing th'it. adjustments are to be I
! made within forty-five days after;
: March 15 on the basis of the exact j
| income. The explanation by klrr. j
[ Roper follows:
"Corporation and, in urgent pases.;
| individuals who are unable to cotn-|
i plete their returns and file them byj
I March 15 will be permitted to file:
; with collectors of internal revenue;
: not later than March 15 an estimate
i of the tax due for the year, with re- j
. mittahce of one-fourth of such es-'
! timated tax. Upon compliance with !
I this requirement the collector is
; authorized to agree to accept from j
j the taxpayer at any time within ]
forty-five days after March 15 the,
; complete tax return.
"It will thus be seen that for all'
practical purposes a procedure hasj
been prescribed by which an exten-i
I sion of time will be allowed in which j
; to work out the details of the tax;
; return and file it with the collector. II
i The banks upon which the corpora- |
I lions will make their returns will!i
I embody a special remittance form!
j for this purpose, which may be de- i
! tached from the main body of the:
form and sent to the collector with I
the remittance and held by the col-11
lector until the complete return is l
filed.
"Although return forms for indi-;!
viduals will not embody this special I
detachable remittance form, collec-1
tors will be provided with a supply j,
of separate forms which will be fur- I
nished to taxpayers upon request! I
and with which they may be able to | j
obtain the privilege accorded cor- 1
porations.
"The advantages of the plan arell
(11 The taxpayer is relieved of then
interest charge of one-half of onej
per cent, a month that would attach t
I to the payment, due on March 15, in; I
the event of an extension of time for j j
filing the return and paying the tax. |
(2) The government will receive on 1
March 15 the payment of approxi-H
mately the aggregate amount of: |
taxes due on that date with a view i j
to the collection of which the re
demption of outstanding obligations I
of the government has been sched-| j
uled, and (3) by spreading over a
period of two months from March 1
the receipt and examination of thcjl
most complex returns the machin-||
ery of the internal revenue service i
is relieved from the tremendous
strain of handling all of the returns I
during the brief period from now '
until March 15."
