100000 Can Save Tax With Corrected 1954 Form Error
The Internal Revenue Service says about 100000 people may save on their 1954 income tax by correcting a retirement income error on printed forms. The misprint affects two groups: under 75 who earned more than 900 last year, and those with retirement income under 1200 plus tax exempt pension or annuity. Correcting the form lets them base retirement income credits on 1200. Revenue Commissioner Andrews said forms were outdated by a more liberal interpretation of the 1954 law.
