From The Bureau
OF Internal Revenue

What deductions are allowed
a farmer for business expenses
in making out his income-tax re-
turn?'
This is one of the many ques-
tlons which revenue officers who
will visit every county in the
United States during January
and February will answer in de-
tail. Briefly, they include the
amount expended for labor in the
preparation of land for crops and
in the cultivation, harvesting, and
marketing of the crop. Deduc-
tions may be name for the cost
of seed and fertilizer, and amount
expended for labor in caring for
live stock, cost of feed, repairs to
farm and other farm buildings,
but not the cost of repairs to the
dwelling. The cost OF repairs to
farm fences and machinery is de-
ductible. as we'll as the cost of
small tools and material which is
used up in the course of year or
two, such as binding twine, pitch
forks, spades, etc.
The cost of machinery, such as
tractors and thrashine machines,
can not be deducted, but the cost
of their operation is deductible
item.
The value of farm products is
not considered taxable until re-
duced to cash or its equivalent.
If crops and stocks were produC
ed in 1916 and sold in 1917, the
amount received therefor is to be
included in the farmers tax re-
turn for the calendar year 1917.
