Mas Elkin, DTC Commander, and from Col. Charles Shadle, DPC Commanfer. Q) I need more tax forms. Where can I get them? A) Any local IRS office should have the forms you need. Many banks and post offices also stock the most frequently used forms. To avoid processing and refund delays, dont forget to take the name label off the cover of your 1040 tax package and put it on the Form 1040 you file.. Q) Will any IRS office compute my tax for me? A) No, the tax computation is done at the IRS regional service center where the returns are processed. If you wish to have the IRS compute your tax, complete all the appropriate lines on your return and then mail it to IRS as you have in the past. Be sure to attach all necessary schedules. Only those who have $20,-00- 0 or less income consisting of salaries, wages, dividends, interest, pension or annuities and claim the standard deduction, qualify to have IRS compute their tax. If you meet these requirements and are entitled to a retirement income credit, follow the instructions at the top of Schedule R, attach it to your return, and the credit will be computed by IRS. Q) Im taking care of my mothers tax return this year. What special benefits is she entitled to by being over 65? A) The tax benefits for older Americans are explained in a free booklet by that name which is available at IRS offices. Send a post card to your District Director and ask for Publication 554. Q) I was out of work several months last year and received unemployment benefits. Do I have to include them with the rest of my income? benefits are A) No, unemployment not taxable and do not have to lie re- ported. Q) My son now buys most of his clothes with what he makes on his after school job. Will this cause any change in his dependency status? A) If you are referring to the support test, the fact your son buys his own clothes will probably not disqualify him. Included in support are food, medical and educational expenses as well as clothing. If you provide more than half the cost of these items, your son will still qualify as your dependent under the support test.
