TAXPAYERS WILL GET AID
Assistance to taxpayers in
the Brenham area will he giv-
en each Monday from 8:15 a.
m. to 12:00 noon, beginning
January 9, it was announced
by A. B. Clark of the Internal
Revenue Service office . in
Brenham.
The "do-it-yourself” pro-
gram group assistance which
was so successful last filing
period will be continued and
improved, Mr. Clark said. Tax-
payers will be assembled into
groups, furnished forms, and
encouraged to prepare their
own returns with assistance
from Internal Revenue em-
ployees.
“The basic function of Inter-
nal Revenue is to audit re-
turns and collect taxes. Last
vear the time saved during the
filing period resulted in In-
creased revenue of 28 million
dollars in oar Southwestern
region This is more than the
coat of operating the entire Re-
venue Service in the South-
west region for the whole
year,” he said.
“The majority of taxpayers
found that preparing their own
returns was not a difficult
task. More than ever before,
taxpayers read their instruc-
tion booklets and filled out
their forms without help. Once
a taxpayer relieves himself of
the mental hazard and sets
himself to the task of prepar-
ing his return, he is amazed at
the result and takes pride in
his accomplishments,” Mr.
Clark pointed out.
“While eoing to a Revenue
Service office will not speed a
refund nor eliminate a future
audit, the Revenue Service
will furnish any information
needed to preoare a return.
The group method is an edu-
cational program to help tax-
oavers understand their own
tax affairs. Forms will be pre-
pared only for persons physi-
cally or mentally unable to
