government takes care of the /est.
If you owe more tax-than was with-

ference. If more was withheld than
you owe, you will get a refund

The tax rulee permit you to use
the card form If your gross Income

or Interest totaling lesa than $5,000,
and if you did not have more than
$100 of gross Income apart from
that listed on your W-2 withhold-

Stop, Look, Listen
' Before deciding to use the card
Form 1040A, you should consider
these facta:
1. Your tax will be figured from
a table which allows you a
deduction of about 10% of your
Income' Instead of Itemized deduction:
&. Made fairly large contributions.
6. Had certain expenses In con-
nection with your work, as
explained below.
Business Expenses
If you are In business for your-
self. you can deduct your reasonable
and necessary business expenses on
separate Schedule C before arriving
at your adjusted groBs income on
page one of the tax form. This still
leaves you the choice of Itemising
your other deductions or using the
10% -standard deduction.
If you are en outside salesman,
the same applies except that you
