Collecting the Taxes for 1919 and 1920 Projections
The first quarterly income tax installment paid on March 15 totals 31,001,244,375 with over four billion dollars in annual receipts. Congress plans to raise about 4,700,008,000 from income and excess profits with Hawaii returns pending and many corporations filing partial returns. Revenues under the new levy are expected to hit six billion dollars for the year, with the bulk from tax on incomes and excess profits. If tax rates average around 4-3 percent, 4,000,000,000 appears likely, while Republicans push to cut taxes further. The 1919 tax year will be remembered as difficult, and taxpayers look to 1920 for relief.
