File Tax Returns Early, Redwine Says A plea to Georgians to file their State tax returns early was voiced this week by Revenue Commis sioner Charles D. Redwine. “Don’t fail to file your tax re turns on or before March 15,” Mr. Redwine urged Georgians, “other wise you are subject to a penalty and interest”. The Commissionre said that the Revenue Department is compelled by law to assess a penalty and in terest on late returns, but that he hoped all State taxpayers, would heed his advice and get their re turns in before the Mr. Redwine stated that the Rev enue Department checks Federal returns, in addition to having other sources of information on income, so it is unlikely that any citizen who should file a State return will be able to avoid doing so. In a series of advertisements running in.this paper, the Commis sioner is reminding all Georgians of the deadline for filing tax re turns, both income tax which is due by March 15, and the sales tax which is due on or before the 20th of each month.
