Refunds for 1950 income tax overpayments urged
Tax Harvest reports about 30 million taxpayers may receive refunds averaging 50 dollars each. To obtain a refund, a final 1950 income tax return must be filed, or an amended declaration made to correct estimates. The Jan 15 deadline governs filings and amendments to avoid penalties for estimates off by more than 20 percent.
Tax rules outline 1950 income declarations and deadlines
The new forms require certain taxpayers to declare 1950 income. Farmers with over 230 dollars must report income, with payment due by March 15. They may skip the January 15 declaration if a final return and payment reach January 31. Non-farmers such as doctors lawyers professionals and business owners face declarations. Employers have a January 31 deadline to provide W-2 forms. February 15 covers information returns for specific payments. March 15 marks final 1950 payments and 1951 declarations, with corporations starting 1950 payments and a 30 percent initial installment.
