WITH YOUR
COUNTY AGENT
Walter 11. Rucker
Did you know that practically
| every farmer in the county is now
| entitled to qualify for benefits un
|der Social Security? And did you
know that most all are required
by law to make a tax return if
the net income is over S4OO or the
gross income is over $600? Self
employed farmers were permitted
|to participate in Social Security
I beginning in 1955. This is a Fed
leral Government Insurance Pro-
Igram and you must make annual
payments before you can qualify
to receive monthly benefits. You
j make these payments on a regular
I income tax form. You can get the
forms from the Bureau of Interna]
Revenue.
There are literally hundreds of
j farmers whose income is large
enough to qualify for Social Se
curity and yet low enough, with
exemptions, that no income tax
will be required. To be fully cov
ered, you must make a return for
each year beginning in 1955. If
you don’t make your 1955 returns
before April 15, 1959. you will not
get credit for it and your benefits
will be reduced.
There is no penalty for making
up late returns, 1955 through 1957
but your Social Security benefits
in the end will doubtless more
than offset this.
J All returns for 1955, 1956, 1957
and 1958 must be supported bv
bills of sale, gin tickets or other
bona fide evidence and in some
cases you may need receipts for
farm expenses. In all cases keep
accurate records.
Almost every farmer with a net
income of S4OO for any year since
1955, or a gross income of S6OO
since 1956, can make a return and
build up Social Security credits
for monthly payments after reach
ing age 65 for men, 62 for women,
50 if totally disabled or for widows
with children under age 18.
Accurate records are most im
portant. A good record can in
crease your Social Security benefits
and at the same time save you
money or income taxes. us
,help you plan now a simple sys
tem of accurate record keeping
for the coming year.
