Income Tax Tips for 1953 Returns by Frank Cormier

Congress approved the biggest tax overhaul since 1954 but it mostly affects businesses this year. For individuals, the April 15 deadline looms. filers under 65 with 1962 income of 600 dollars or more must file a return. Those 65 or older with 1,200 dollars or more must file, and even those owing none may file to claim refunds. Automatic relief exists for low incomes using Form 1040 or 1040A. itemizing requires Form 140 Schedule A, with schedules for business, farm, and investments as needed. The IRS guidance specifies forms and standard deductions, while the TRS provides calculations for those under 5,000 dollars income.
