Editor notes this is the first in a series on who must handle income taxes. The piece outlines three key tasks due March 15: filing for 1944 income, estimating 1945 tax and paying the first installment, and paying the unforgiven portion of 1942 income tax. It details groups required to act and criteria for estimated payments.
The article explains filing requirements for 1944 taxes based on income 500 dollars or more. If income is under 500 dollars you need not file, and a dependent child under 500 need not have their income reported. A wife’s income affects the 500 dollar exemption unless included in a joint return. Refunds require filing a return, and a child earning 500 or more must file separately even if parents may be liable for taxes.
