FARM ACCOUNTS AND
THE INCOME TAX
Recent Treasury Ruling Favors Account
Books Recommended BY the Local
County Agent

The time has now expired for making
income tax returns for 1917. In making
the returns for the past year most farm
ers had to do great deal of estimating.
1t is expected that the collectors of the
income tax will demand more accurate
figures this coming year. Therefore it
will be more necessary to keep some rec
ord of the receipts and expenses of the
business
Mr.. Daniel c. Roper, the commissioner
of internal revenue, made new ruling
recently concerning the way farmers
might make out their returns. In pre-.
yious rulings the farm receipts or farm
expenses were not affected by change
in the value of stock, tools, or feed on
hand the end of the year Under the
new ruling an increased inventory at the
end of the year may be included in the
receipts. In a similar way, a decrease in
the inventory would be included in the
expenses for the year. This will be an
added incentive for farmers to take an
inventory of their business once a year.
County Agent f. II. Abbott of Mont
pelier has some Vermont farm account
books. They are simple to keep and are
a convenient form in which to record the
years business on the farm. There are
pages for detailed inventory at the be-
ginning and end of the year. This makes
the books one of the best forms to keep
for making income tax returns. A sum
mary of the book at the end of the year
is practically the same as the summary |
needed on the income tax sheet
Farmers who are not now keeping a |
'ecord of their business should begin at |
,nce. The income tax, alone, is sufficient !
