TAXPAYER ANSWERS
FOR RETURN FACTS
Each Federal income taxpay

turn he signs. This is even if

In advising taxpayers of this
responsibility Conrad said, we
must remind them that they
are responsible under law for
all entries and all supporting
documents in their returns no
matter who prepares it.
The Internal Revenue, he
said, welcomes returns prepar
ed by competent professional
persons, but such assistors in
many instances can only rely
upon information provided by
the taxpayer.
