(EDITOR'S NOTE: This neuspay-r . •^through special arrangement with the L ffashirz'on Bur ecu cf W'cr.tern Newspaper - Vnion at 1616 Eye Street, 1\. W., Hashing' ton, D. C., is able to bring readers this tceekly column on problems of the veteran 'k -' -tj g, and serricrmttn nr.d his family. Questions mav be addressed to the above Bureau and thav will ba answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct fluid b>' mail, but only in the column tvkich vill appear in this newspaper regularly J Income Tax Problems It' V V» i P - - * •*. The veteran returning home after -.•t- his discharge will be wise if he consults a government ir.cor*.® t?.x crl- ^ lector to get straight on his income tax with Uncle Safh. »' Even though the veteran is confident he does net owe a tax, it would be well to get it straight from the internal revenue department. For most servicemen and women, the entire-1942 federal income tax was cancelled, but there were some ex- , ceptions. It is possible that if you paid federal taxes for the 1942-43 period, there may be a refund com- ' irig. Unless the veteran is a commissioned officer or had a private income, ho likely v.i'1 cvve no "income tax for the time: in service, since from iri3 there has been no tax on the first SI,SCO of annual service pay t or c 1 the government's contribution . to monthly family allowance. Neither is there a federal tax on mustering out pav, pensions or dis- " abilUy rptlrsment pay, gratuities, war risk insurance proceeds nor ."on the vc terns educational or re- ; habilitption allowances. Pricr vto"IS 13 the exemption, on annual pcy was granted only 'to er.lieted men and was $250 far. a single perscn ar.d $300 for a married person. If you owed income tax .at the time you went into service, you may be one of these who obtained permission to postpone payment. If that is true, then you have six months to pay-up after your clic- ' i charge. You may make applicat'on to pay in equal installments over a • . period equal to your full period of " service if you desire. If there w?re any taxes on real or personal properties unpaid at the time you entered service, there likely will be penalties added and interest charges. If the local courts per- V mitted seizure of your property for taxes while you were in service, you have, under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief ect, the right to redeem it up to six months affcp fpu are discharged. , , . Questions and Aniwers « •. . Q. Is the w'fe cf a serviceman re- I ' quired to Include the amount of her ' allotment in figuring, her income tax? A.

(The armv's present'"strength b absut 8,300,000.) ' . About 3,500,000 men Will be returned to civilian life in the next. 12^, months. Of these, about 1.332.000 will be surplus troops and the rest discharges for physical and other reasons. s. About two-thirds of the combat units will come through the United States en route to the Pacific and will have furloughs. (Informally, it was said the furloughs would • run not more than 33 days.) , The larger proportion of service troops urgently needed in the Pacific will go theie directly. Shipping Prcb'em Cited^ " Transportation shortages, even with 800 transport p'.anc^ being used, will not get the last of the men who are to be discharged back to the United States befbre 12 months, the department said. The United States must transport to the. Pacific vast stores of equipment and supplies both from, the continental United States and from Europe. There are about 76 combat divisions in Europe at present, exclusive of hundreds of thousands c combat troops assigned to corps and armies and a huge force of supply and service troops.

"Our army is now 8,300,000 strong," the war department said. "Under the approved plan we are now engaged in working toward an army strength of 6,968,000 a year from now on. That will give us all the strength we believe we can deploy effectively against Japan and wiil also enable us to meet our occupation responsibilities in Europe and to maintain the necessary training and supply force in the United States." For Foreign Service. The department said that "every physically fit soldier in the United States who has not yet served overseas will be assigned to foreign duty when he completes his training or. if he is performing an essential administrative or service function, as soon as he can be replaced by a returning veteran." The number of troops needed for occupation duty in Europe and the length of time they will be there, the army said, "will depend on the situation in Europe and the nature of our international commitments." The planned redaction of 1,300,000 in total army strength, the department said, would not be sufficient "to permit the early discharge of all the men we consider should ,be returned to civil life" because of extended overseas and combat service. "Consequently," the annduncefnent continued, "it is planned to hold selective's^vice calls hereafter at a level above that necessary to replace men lost through battle and normal attrition and thus make Jt possible to release more men with ft record of long and arduous service.
