Hie optimist accepts the truth of the adage and goes mi to look for consolations. Among them this year Is the improved form for federal income taxes. The new form 1040 represents 24 years of hard work on the part of the Internal Revenue Service. It combines the liest features of the old card form 1040A and the long form. More than half of all servicemen will find that they need complete only one letter-siz- e form the new 1040. It is alxnit as simple as the old card form, allowing standard deductions.
