Income Tax Forms Being Mailed Direct to Taxpayers The massive mailing of r.ix- id one-half million income tax forms direct to taxpayers is scheduled to begin on January 8th. This is a new method of distributing tax forms according to an announcement from the Department of National Revenue. In addition, farmers and fishermen, for whom a special "Farmer's and Fisherman's Guide" is printed, will be receiving these about one week before they get their tax forms. Every taxpayer who filed last year will receive a "personalized" tax form with his own name, address and identification number, together with an extra copy to keep for his own records. Included will be a tax guide, a brochure explaining the new procedure and a return envelope. Taxpayers should begin receiving their forms in Prince Ed- ward Islajid, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick beginning January 12: in Newfoundland beginning January 15; in British Columbia, Alberta, the Yukon, Saskatchewan and Manitoba beginning January 18; in Quebec beginning January 15 (Montreal area beginning January 18); and in Ontario beginning Jauary 19 (Toronto and Hamilton areas beginning January 25). In the past, employee taxpayers got their forms from their employers. Self-employed people including farmers and fishermen, picked up their forms at post offices. New taxpayers, taxpayers who spoil their "personalized" returns or who do not receive them because they have moved during the year, may get extra forms at the local post office or district Taxation offices.
