structions printed on it. That form
will serve ns a reminder of every item
A income; ami if a return is due, it
tells how to prepare and tile it.
One of ilie important (mints to keep
in mind is that a person's net income
is found by a computation prescribed
in (he law, and that each item of in
come from every source must be con
sidered, unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember is that
itin personal exemption aiiowed tax-
payers by law has no relation whatevei
to the requirement to tile return. This
exemption its not to be considered until
a person lifts figured out his net in

sufficient to require him to tile a re

tions for claiming exemption, and com
plete his return.
