Last In Tax Series
Due Dates For
Filing Return
Are Stressed
BY James w. D.nwiddie
District Manager, Lynchburg
Social Security Office

0OClAl security OI1lCe
In this concluding article in a
series on reporting self-employ-
ment net earnings from farming
FOR social security purposes. I
want to stress the due dates for
filing tax returns which must be
met by self-employed farmers in
order to comply with the law and
to obtain proper social security
credit for earnings which apply
toward old-age and survivors,
insurance protection.
If you had net earnings of at
least $500 in calendar 1855, you
must file, a return, report your
net earnings which apply toward
social security. and pay the
social security tax on those earn
ings. You are requested to file as
soon as possible after January
/, 1856; you should file not later
than April IS, 1856.
While the filing of declara-
ton Of estimated income tax is
primarily an Internal Revenue
Service matter. there is a special
regulation in this connection
which I want to help bring to
the attention Of self-employed
farmers. Although person self
employed in profession. trade,
or nonfarm business may sbe re-
quired to file an estimate of in
come by April IS of that year,
persons who derive at least two
thirds of their gross income
from farming may file their de-
claration on or before January
Is of the following year. If you
are required to file declaration
Of your 1855 income and do so
on or before January Is, 1856.
and pay the estimated tax at
that time. your return will not
be due until April Is. 1856. How
ever. if you file your final tax
return on or before February
IS. 1856. and pay the total tax
at that time, it will not be neces-
sary to file declaration.
In any case. bear this in mind
the completion of Schedule Sc
(the brief tear-off portion of
Schedule F., or Schedule c. and
the payment Of the social secur-
ity tax must accompany your in
come tax return. This is re-
sponsibility required of you under
law; by meeting it. moreover
YOU have the assurance that you
are getting full credit for your
taxable earnings which are build
ing old-age. and survivors in
surance protection for you and
for your family now and in the
years ahead.

Sos technician will visit the farm
and look over the project with
the farmer. He will determine the
drainage needs. stake out the pro-
ject. advise with the farmer and
render necessary supervision to
see that an efficient drainage

ton Of financial and technical
aid is a wonderful help to far
mers who could not accomplish
this work on their own.
This help is not available for
projects where the primary pur-
pose is to bring additional land
into production. but is available
to drain land now in production
either as pasture or cropland. Nor
is the aid available for cleaning
existing bitches. 1t is available for
construction new drainage bitches
and laying new tile.
Livestock Pond Aid
The 1856 program also offers
conservation proctices especially
designed to aid livestock produc-
ers.
One of these practices. Con
structing Livestock Water Ponds"
is designed to give livestock water.
1t is applicable only on farms
where the water supply is made
quate or SO poorly located that
it is impossible to obtain proper
distribution Of livestock grazing.
The amount of cost share avail
able for building needed pond is
based on the estimated cost of
earth moving and the estimated
cost of necessary outlet pipe.
However. in case may the cost
share exceed $500.
The Soil Conservation technic-
ian must approve the need for
the pond as source of livestock
water and pond must be con-
structed under his supervision in
accordance to established speci-
fications.
