- Q. What is the difference between a Christmas card and a Statement of Estimated Income Tax? A. Christmas cards come but once a year, whereas Form 1124-T comes twice a year. The trouble with Ben Prins’s cover is that taxpayers who don’t file 1124-T will say, “I don’t get it,” and those who do file 1124-T will ask, “What’s funny about finding a tax form in your Christmas mail?” Humor rarely seems humorous to the person on the receiving end; so we won’t be surprised if mail carriers accuse us of creating an image of an Abominable Postman—one who leaves ice tracks instead of footprints and drops special-delivery packages in the snow. We plead not guilty. It just seems we should side with the little guy when the Post Office and Treasury departments gang up on him.
