Taxpayers to Gel
Assistance in
Pieparing Tax Returns
District Director of Internal
Revenue William E. Frank, this
week announced plans for assist
ing taxpayers in Washington and
Alaska who will need help in
preparing income tax forms dur
ing the coming filing period.
Aware that income lax forms
are not always as easy to make
out as they are made out to 'lie,
the Seattle District office has de
veloped a program aimed at
helping the taxpayer and speed
ing the processing of the tax re
turns.
Along with the blank forms of
which each taxpayer will pre
pare his 1955 return wall be a
specially developed pamphlet on
how to prepare income tax re
turns.
Most taxpayers should be able
to prepare their own income tax
returns with the aid of informa
tion in the booklet. However, the
Internal Revenue Service offices
in this district intend to assist
those who are unable to solve
their problems through the use
of the booklet. In those oases
where a question arises about
information in the booklet or the
contents of the tax return, it will i
be possible to telephone any of
the local Internal Revenue Ser-1
vice offices for information and
direction. Then, if the booklet or
a telephone call still have not
cleared up the tax form question,
the taxpayer is invited to make
a personal visit to the Internal
Revenue Service office. The lo
cal Internal Revenue Service of
fice at Anchorage will be special
ly staffed on Mondays beginning
January 9 to help those who need
more extensive help than can be

rendered over the telephone.
The Ipcal director urged that
taxpayers make an honest effort
to prepare their own returns
through the use of the new in
struction pamphlet and the use
of telephone. Information obtain
ed from a survey made last year
indicated that more than 50 per
cent of those persons who visited
the Internal Revenue Service of
fices throughout the nation for
help admitted that they had not
made use of the 1956 informa
tion booklet.
Although the 1956 filing dead
line for'11955 tax returns is April
15, taxpayers are urged to file
their returns early so that re
funds may be processed as soon
t as possible.
