It is estimated that for the year 1923 more than 4,000,000 persons, or 70 per cent of those who annually are required to file income tax returns, will use the new form. Persons, any part of whose income for the year 1923 was derived from business or profession, farming, sale of property or rents, regardless of the amount, will be required to use the larger form, 1040. The use of form 1040 will be required, also, in cases where the net income was in excess of $5,000, whether from sal ary, business, profession, or other taxable sources. Formerly Form 1040 was used only for reporting in dividual net income of more than $5,000. Forms for filing inidvidual returns of income will be sent to persons who filed similar returnes for the year 1922. It being impossible to deter mine this year the form desired by the taxpayer, whether he be a man whose income was derived chiefly from salary or wages or from busi ness, profession, or other taxable sources, the taxpayer will receive both forms, and is advised to note carefully the instructions regarding their use. arket Co.
