![["The text discusses a ruling by the United States Treasury Department that the money received by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations is not taxable. This ruling was based on a settlement for the purchase of lands and mineral deposits reserved from allotment, and no taxable gain was derived from the receipt of the appropriated funds. Congressman Albert was advised of this ruling and it was recommended that this information be shared with the public."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Departmental%20Series,%201968-1986/CAC_CC_001_4_6_83_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Five%20Civilized%20Tribes,%201949/Thumbnails/CACC_CC_001_4_6_83_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Communication Regarding Tax Exemption for Choctaws and Chickasaws' Settlement Proceeds")
![["Mr. William Lewis wrote a letter to Carl Albert, a congressman, inquiring about the payment to members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes for the sale of their coal lands to the government. He had not received his payment yet and was concerned about rumors that the Department was withholding the money due to uncertainty about taxation. Carl Albert responded, explaining that checks were being mailed out by the Five Civilized Tribes Agency and advised Mr. Lewis to contact them to request an application form. He also reassured Mr. Lewis that the Department was not withholding the money due to tax issues."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_6_74_0000-(18)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_74_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence regarding Payment for Coal Lands Sale to Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribe Members")
