Show Vet Dependents Advised On income Tax Refund One of the most important deadlines for dependents of deceased de-ceased servicemen and women is Decmber 31, 1948, said Ed. T. O'Brien, "for that is the last day on which the next of kin of all military personnel who died while on active service on or after December 7, 1941 and Jan. 1, 1948 may file for refund for abatement of taxes paid by or for deceased veterans." The 80th Congress amended the Internal Revenue Code relating re-lating to the ' tax liability of members of the armed forces dying in service, by providing that Federal income taxes for all military personnel who died between Pearl Harbor Day and the first of the year are abated for the year in which they died. Mr. O'Brien added, "that any unpaid income tax for other years during which they were on active service, within the period per-iod mentioned above, also have been abated. "If such income tax was paid during those years by deceased military personnel, it is refundable, refund-able, to the next of kin," said Mr. O'Brien, "providing' a claim is filed before January 1, 1949." Claims should be submitted to the Collector of Internal Revenue Rev-enue in the district in which the claimant paid the taxes or where he resides. Utah State Department of Veterans Affairs district service officers are ready and able to assist the dependents of deceased veterans in filing these claims. |
