Fewer people must file income tax under 1971 rules

DES MOINES An estimated six million people will no longer be required to file income tax returns because of liberalized rules added to the Tax Reform Act of 1969. IRS District Director John F. Hanlon said single filers with income of 1700 or more must file, instead of 600. Married couples living together face higher thresholds, with 2300 for under 65, 3500 or 2900 if one is 65 or over. Separate filers still must file on 600 or more. Self employment net profits of 400 or more require filing and tax. Even if no tax due, those with withholding should file for refunds.
