S. C.--I received a notice from the government stating that I owe a hundred and twenty-five dollars on my income tax for 1945. Now I don't see why I have to pay tax for that year in 1947. If I quit my job, they can't collect it. Do you think this would be the thing to do?
Ans: Quitting your job would be the height of folly. It wouldn't affect your tax as you would still owe it. The tax is on money you earned and spent in 1945. Go to the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue and clear the matter up. If they say pay-you must do so. Ask for the privilege of paying the tax in notes over a period of time.
