BOLGER S 103 S. GREEN STREET PHONE EV 5-4500 Now that the 1960 federal income tax^season is fully Underway, taxpayers are reminded that Monday has been designated as Assistance Day, Harold R. All, district director of internal revenue for the Chicago district, said this week. Mr. All continued: "While April 15 is the deadline for filing income tax returns, it is wise to file early. In filing your return early, you can avoid errors that can prove costly to you, for often in haste we cheat ourselves. The law expects us to pay our correct tax -- no more -- no less. It will pay you to keep accurate records for use in preparing your return." Mr. All said 196,819 taxpayers have filed their 1959 ret u r n s p r e s u m a b l y b e c a u s e many of them may have .a refund coming and they are eager to get it. "We have started Jo process the returns already filed," Mr. All said. "If they are in perfect order and a refund is due, our early processing will speed up the refund checks accordingly." Those returns which require a pre-refund audit will take longer to process but iq every such case, the taxpayer will., bep notified by letter of the reason for delay, Mr. All said. , "Even the pre-refund audit' may be completed sooner be* cause of early filing, he said. Mr. All again repeated his tips for 'early filers who want to receive any refund due then* as quickly as possible. One is not to omit any esseatial information on your return, such as your signature (and that of your spouse if it is a joint return), and the W-2 tax withholding form. Another is to print your address as largely as you can print it. 0 And the third is not to write for a few weeks asking where your refund is because replies to such letters only slow down the whole refunding process. rift Come In and See Roy Zimmermann Sales Representative - ( for Seibel Rambler Sales 405 W.
