繳稅日
1913年4月15日
荷馬‧康明斯 (Homer
S. Cummings) 是伍德羅‧威爾遜 (Woodrow
Wilson) 總統在位時的民主黨全國委員會 (Democratic
National Committee) 主席。他認為開徵所得稅是民主黨最重要的幾項成就之一。因為這項稅收，政府得以開始執行許多業務。每個人需要繳交的稅款，依照其年收入與其他減免額度來判定。而因為收取稅金與計算繳交額度的需要，也提供了許多就業機會，例如國內稅務局 (Inner
Revenue Service，IRS) 的人員、會計師，以及從1936年開始就努力工作的公共稅賦人員等等。
問問你的父母，看他們是怎麼申辦所得稅的退稅。不過你可能要等幾天之後再問，因為他們現在或許正在忙著趕上截止日期。
Homer S. Cummings, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson, counted the income tax as among the most notable accomplishments of the Democratic Party. The funds raised from it have been used for running many parts of the government. How much one pays depends on yearly earnings and certain deductions. Collecting and figuring taxes employs many people such as the staff of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), accountants, and this public tax worker, who was working hard back in 1936.
Ask your parents how they file their income tax return. But you might want to wait a day or two--they may be busy trying to make the deadline!
