CCORDI G TO TH Inter­
nal Revenu Service:
-If you earn $1 1 to $224 a .
week, you get the maximum bonus
of $22 each week.
- If you earn Ie than $131 a
week, you get a maller amount,
depending on your wages. But the
credit will almo t certainly make
up for amount taken out of your
paycheck for federal taxes.
- If you earn between $224
and S409 week, the amount of your
bonus gets smaller as you earn
more money. You get S22 minus a
percentage of your wages above
$224.
- If you earn more than $409 a
week, you aren't eligible for the
credit.
The e figures are for 1991.
Your paycheck bonus will become
a little larger in the future because
the amount of the credit is due to
increase each year until 1994.
How do you get this bonus form
Uncle Sam? You have to file a
simple form, called a W-5, with
your employer each year. Your
employer then deducts the payment
from the money it owes the govern­
ment for payroll and income taxes .
It isn't much trouble for you or
your employer. The trouble is, the
IRS has made very little effort to
inform employers or workers about
the paycheck option.
The president of the American
Society of Payroll Management
says that most employers are will-
in the bonus in employees'
paychec ask for it. So if
you're interested, ta 0 your s\..I­
pervisor. As a start, you might five
him or her this column for informa­
tion.

YOUR EMPLOYER probably
won't have the W-5 Form. But
don't lett thi discourage you. You
can callI-BOO- Tax-l040 for infor­
mation about how to get the form.
Or you can look in the phone book
or find out from the information
operator if there is a Volunteer In­
come Tax Assistance (VITA)
clinic in your community. The
staff t will be able to help you
also.
It may take you a little effort,
but if you qualify for the tax credit,
the law say you're entitled to
receive it in your paycheck if that's
your choice.

By RON SEIGEL
Corr •• pond nt
HIOHLAND PARK-The newly
appointed President of Highland
Park Community College, Dr.
Charles Mitchell. Jr., asked for
help from the. Michigan Depart­
ment of Education in making the
college "more effective and effi­
cient in working with students," a
department source said.
Dan Schoolie, Executive As­
sistance to the State Superinten­
dent of Schools, said that
education officials and staff
members from the state met with
repre entatives of the communi ty
college and the Highland Parle
School Board and formed com­
mi'ttees dealing with such factors
as finance, curriculum, com­
munication, organization and
staffing.
The school board plans to
make a financial report in mid
December and a final report in
February or early March, he said.
Schoolie suggests that HPCC
President Mitchell felt free to call
on the Michigan Department of
Education, because he used to
work for it and he, Schoolie, and
Superintendent Gary Hawks "are
old friends."
