Your cryptic taxes are now due. Follow instructions carefully and review your results. First enter your Income clue answers sequentially line by line, starting in the top left square and changing direction with each new row. Once your Income has been entered, subract each of your Deductions clue answers from top to bottom in the correspondingly labeled columns (Schedules a to p). Enter the remainder for each column on the bottom line; this is your declaration. Five clue answers are capitalized.

The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
