INCOME TAX
Efforts of city authorities to get extensions for income tax filings have been successful according to City Manager Ralph Jones who received the following wire from Congressman Ralph Rivers: "Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mortimer M. Caplin advised Representative Rivers today that regulations have been eased to allow Alaskans until July 15 to elect to deduct disaster losses from 1963 income tax returns. Earlier, Internal Revenue Service announced it, would allow extensions of April 15 filing to those sustaining disaster losses who requested such extensions. New ruling will permit taxpayers to make 1963 tax writeoff election at any time prior to July 15 or, if granted extended period to file tax return, until date of extension, whichever later. Such election must be made in writing to Internal Revenue Service at time of filing return or by filing an amended return or claim for refund. Otherwise disaster tax writeoffs can be taken for 1964 calendar year."
