The loss of growing crop Is not a
proper deduction from income, inas-
mech as the value of the crop had .ot
been taken into gross income, The
loss Of building or Of machinery
through storm, lightning, Hood etc, is
alfallowuble deduction, but care should
be used To ascertain the correct loss
sustained as restricted by income tax
regulations.
No deduction is allowed In the cnSe
of loss Of animals raised on the farm,
but loss is dcductihIe from gross In
come Il the animals had heen pur'
chased fnr draft or breeding purposes.
Shrnkage in weight or value of farm
products held for favorable market
p.lc5s caunol be deducted as a loss, for
the reason that when such products
are sold the shrinkage will be renecte1
in the selling price.
Sale Of Farms and Land.
The value of agricultural lands has
been Jumping during the past few
years, and during 1919 many owners
sold out part or all Of their lands at big
profits. All such gains constitute In
come and must be taken into the net
income for the "car.
ANY person who sol part Of n farm
or ranch. or part Of parcel Of land,
must also show any gains realized by
the sale.
The method of figuring gains and
losses on such transactions Is prescrib-
ed in the Income Tax regulations,
copies Of which may be secured from
Internal Revenue Collectors.
Forms for Returns.
The Internal Revenue Bureau has IS
sued an improved Form 10i0F for the
use of farmers. This form, together
with Form lOl0A or 1910, will give the
farmer explicit information as to how
to properly figure his net income for
1919
There are two methods Of figuring a
farmers income tax return this year.
He may make his return on the basis
of the difference between the money
and goods received for his products
and the cash paid out for actual allow.
able farm expenses within the year
Or he may make his return on the ac
crual basis, which means computing
the receipts and expenses that pertain
10 the taxable year, Excluding income
earned and expenses incurred in pre-
vlous or succeeding years.
