now advised that the postponed due date
for filing individual federal income tax
returns for calendar years 1941 through

armed forces was on duty outside of the
United States or on sea duty at the time
his return or returns were normally due
to be filed, will be the earliest of the
following dates:
(a) The 15th day of the 'sixth month
following the month the taxpayer
returns to the United States or is
detached from sea duty;

(b) the 15th day of the third month
following the month in which an
executor, administrator, or con-
servator of the estate of the tax-
payer qualifies; or
(c) 15 June 1948.
Accordingly, members of the armed forces
who have not as .yet filed federal income
tax returns for one or more of the years
1941 through 1946 because of sea or for-
eign service duty must file such return
or returns not later than the 15th day of
the sixth month following the month of
return to the United States or detachment
from sea duty, or 15 June 1948, whichever
is earlier.
All unpaid taxes attributable to serv-
ice pay in these cases may be paid in
twelve quarterly installments, without
penalty or interest, and the first in-
stallment date is the postponed due date
for filing the return or returns. Appli-
cation for the installment privilege for
payment and a statement showing the dates
that sea or foreign service duty com-
metced and terminated should be attached
to each return.

tax forms for their personnel from the
nearest Collector of Internal Revenue.
