Many Employers
Fail to File Returns
for Social Security
Payroll Paymént Must
be Made this Month
- Says Collectors
The Bureau of Intemaal Revenuel
has expressed its concern over the]
large percentage of employers in
Washington and Alaska who have!
not yet filed reports showing taxable
wages paid to employees from July
1, 1937 to December 31, 1937, as re-
Lqulred under the Federal Social Be
curity Act. approximately 11 per
cent have tolled to file returns on‘
Forms 33.2 and 88-2. with the‘
collectors for this period. These
Iflgures are significant. as the em-“
players who have failed to me these
[lnformation returns have been re-‘
ceived. ' . i
The Collector pointed out it is to
the interest or the employer. as well
as employee, to have this informa
tion sent to the oellector without
further delay. Employers will save
themselves the necessity of having
to make explanations to their em
ployees or survivors .ot deceased em-,
ployees, and will cut down on the
need or further conference with
governmvent officials if they are
now prompt in submitting these re
ports to the U. S. Collector of In
ternal Revenue. -
Acting Collector Henrlcksen point
ed out that to receive old-age bene
fits under the provisions of the 80+
cial Security Act, it is necessary
that an employee be credited on the
records of the Social Security Board
with the amount of wages he has
earned. He pointed out that the
information concerning the ainount‘
of wages paid an employee is re
quired by the government in order
to calculate the benefits under old
age insurance which the govern
ment has obligated itself to pay
workers when they reach the age or‘
85,ortotheirestatesintheevent
of their death. It is, therefore. inn-l
portant to the employee that the
taxes deducted from his wages by‘
the employer and the. amount 01"
taxable wages he receives are
promptly reported to the Collector
of Internal Revenue. - _, A .
“Section 80'! of the Security Act‘
provides penalties up to 810,000 tor
willful failure to make returns or‘
supply such information required
by law and regulation." said lii-J
Hendricksaon, “but the Bureau 01‘
Internal Revenue does not believe
that many employers have deiiber-1
ately withheld these reports. On the
contrary, it is convinced that most}
of the law—mostly among employe
ersoroniyaiewpersonsandthat‘
when they understand that their
employees can receive no old-age
benefits until the delinquent returns
would be acting in their best in
terest, as well as their empioyees’ to
file these returns at once. Every
employer who has one or more em-\
ployees should file these wage re
ports immediately, it he has not al-1
ready done so." ‘
The Collector feels that the til
ing of returnsvls a legal as well as;
a social obligation, which must be‘
met by employers. If these returnsl
arenotfiied,andiihisforceisob
ligated to relinquish other duties to‘
secure the returns, the Collector
feels there can be no compromise it‘
penalties follow. ‘
Home Accounts to
be Analyzed
O
. Miss Esther Pond, Home Manage-1
ment Specialist. will be in? Benton

through the year of 1937 will have
their accounts analyzed anti rm
mendations given at future helps.
A large number of new home ac

on their part of the work for than
past two months. During this‘
year it is the plan that these cos
operators have personal conferencefl
with the assistant agent in order to

preservation program is being
launched for 1938. Twelve state-1
wide organizations that function;

sponsor in Benton county is the
Benton Homemakers Extension
Council. This Council met during
the week and made preliminary
plans for the program. which is be
lieved will be launched in the form
of a contest. The contest will be
based on planning the family i'ood
budget in relation to the variety of
vegetables and fruits needed, the
production of these food stuffs. and
the final preservation for winter
use.
The program will be carried on

ports. He points out that farmers
need to meet the general require
ments of the program regarding the
acreage allotments and soil-building
goals before they can earn this full
payment. If the acreage allotments
are exceeded, or it the soil-building
goal is not reached, the payments
will be less than would otherwise be
