Reduced from six pages to a sin gle sheet on which answers are re quired to only three questions in relation to income, Form 1040 has been revised in the interests of the great majority of taxpayers. The number of persons affected (by the adoption of of the simplified form is shown by the act that of 6,662,176 personal returns filed for the calen dar year 1921, 6,136,570 were re turned on Form 1040A.
