Taxpayers Told to Pay June 15 Installment
Des Moines reports that federal income taxpayers on quarterly payments must meet the June 15 deadline. Iowa internal revenue collector E. H. Birmingham warned of a misperception about the new pay as you go plan. He noted many believe they owe less, or nothing, but the plan aims to tax current earnings and spread the balance over later years. The conference bill awaits congressional approval and outlines crediting prior installments toward future income, with staged payments extending into 1944 and 1946.
