Do Your 1917 Pay Totals Require a Federal Return
Officials urge workers and employers to determine if 1917 earnings meet filing thresholds. Anyone earning 800 or more from wages rents or interest must file, with unmarried individuals at 1000 and couples at 2000. Employers should supply each employee a total of salaries or wages for 1917. Advance contract payments received in 1917 for 1918 work should not be counted in the 1917 return.
