Owens John M- Bennan George Hillis Joseph Ball INCOME TAX TIME EXTENDED » i„__j Everyone Urged lo Report Before Eleventh Hour Considerable confusion ha's arisen in the minds of the public, due to the contradictory state ments on the subject, as to whether or not the extension of time granted by the United States Treasury Department for the fil ing of returns under the income tax laws and excess profits tax law applies to all forms of returns re quired to be filed under these laws, The official regulation on this matter, known as "T. D- 2650." dated February 1, 1918, signed by ! Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of Internal Revenue, and approved bv W. G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, reads as follows: Because of unavoidable delay in the preparation of forms and regu lations for the war excess profits tax and hence in the preparation of the related forms and régula- j tions for returns for the income and war income taxes, and in | order to afford taxpayers a neces sary period for the preparation of returns after receiving the forms and regulations, the time for filing returns due after October 16, 1917, and on or before March L 1918. and the act of October 3, 1917, for the income, war income and war excess profits taxes, whether they are to be made on the basis of a calendar year or of a fiscal year, ended during the year 1917, is hereby extended to April 1, 1918 So far as this extension applies to the returns of corporations to be made on the basis of a fiscal year other than the calendar year, it amends the provisions of T. D. 2561, as amended by T. D. 2615 and T. D. 2633. This means that the time for fil ing of all forms of returns for in come and excess profits taxes is extended to April 1, 1918, and this is confirmed by the internal reve nue office here. It is not only very desirable, but it is also a patriotic duty for all concerned to file returns as soon as possible so as to relieve the tremendous strain on the in ternal revenue department em ployes and to avoid the great con fusion which will result if the making of returns is postponed to the eleventh hour. ) : \ i rjr il Y V f ff < \ ( /> .. y C/i P ^ VV % Writ fl Wyi lip v / / VS .iVtMsi:1 I'OVLK I'iVvnay vW anti; r jÄ. kfih h 4 i ï fl i SWil 7i * - tknEvF lilim 'i— jfc •n tr Œ /i y \_ s \M NTS Where Accuracy Means Dollars to You w N O matter how good your seed corn — or how carefully you prepare the soil—you can't have a perfect com crop unless your planter has a perfect drop! We invite you to inspect the J. I. Case—the world's most accu rate com planter. We want to show you why it drops 20 more perfect hills out of every 100. Why it brings you 7 more bushels per acre. Why it makes you $350.00 more profit for every 40 acres you plant. This will place you under obligation to buy whatever. You owe it to yourself to inspect this planter that pays its cost'several times over the first year you use it!
