INCOME TAX DON’TS
DON’T prepare your income tax
return until you carefully read and
understand the instructions accom-
panying the forms. Make out a work
sheet and check it with the instruc-
tions before filling in the forms.
DON’T delay in making out your
income tax return. Tax problems de-
serve careful study, and the early
assembling of your data expedites
this.
DON’T destroy the data from which
your return is compiled. You will
need them for possible rechecking
and verifying the return.
DON’T overlook any item or sched-
ule on the form which you are re-
quired to fill out. They are all nec-
essary to the exact computation of
your income tax.
DON’T omit any explanation o r
information that is essential to a
complete audit of your return. An
ounce of care may save you a pound
of unnecessary expense, and time
and annoyance both to you and to
your Government.
