FOR FARMERS' TAX
INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU
MAKES IT EASIER TO FILL
OUT THE FORMS.
} Thousands of farmers whose net in
come for 1920 equaled or exceeded the
‘exemptions of 31,000 for single per
sons and $2,000 for married persons
will be required to file on or before
March 15, 1921, income tax returns
for the year 1920.
As an aid to farmers the bureau of
internal revenue has prepared a spe
cial form, 1040 F, for recording sales
of live stock, produce and a summary
of income and expenses. This form
should be attached to the taxpayer’s
individual return on form 1040 or
1040 A. Full instructions for making
out the forms are contained in each.
Under gross income a farmer is re
quired to include all proceeds derived
from the sale of farm products wheth
er produced on a farm or purchased
for resale. When he exchanges his
products for groceries, clothing or
other merchandise he must include in’
his income the value of the articles
received and exchanged. Profit receiv
ed from the sale of farm land or rent
received for the use thereof must also
be included.
Net Income.
In determining his net income, up
on which the tax is assessed, the farm
er may deduct all necessary expenses
incurred in the operation of his farm
during the year. These include cost
of cultivation, harvesting and market
ing of his crops, the cost of seed and
fertilizer used, amount spent in repair
to farm buildings other than the dwell
ing, and to fences and machinery. The
cost of farm tools used up .in ; the,
course of the year, wages paid to, em-.
ployes other than dgmestic seryants,
and rent paid for farm land and build
ings (other than dwelfing) are deduct-.
ible items. - Te, oy
Farmers who .keep no records or
only records of cash receipts and dis
bursements should make their returns
on the basis of actual receipts, but
farmers who keep complete accounts
and who take inventories at the.be-.
ginning and end of the year to deter
mine their profits should report on.
the accrual basis. Both methods are
fully explained on form 1040 F, copies
of which may be obtained from the
offices of collectors of internal revenue.
: Tax Rate For 1920. |
The normal tax rate for 1920 is the
first $4,000 of net income above the
same as for 1919—4 per cent on the
exemption and 8 per cent on the re
maining net income. This applies to
every citizen and resident of the Unit
ed States. In addition to the normal
tax a surtax is imposed upon net in
come in excess of $5,000. e |
