Soil Bank
Agreements
Now Available

Questions raised about the eff
feet of Soil Bank payments on
social security benefits r dis
cussed in a letter from the Bureau
of Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance to USDA's Commodity Sta
Utilization Service.
The letter has been made avail
able to County Agricultural Sta
Utilization and Conservation COM
mittees by Leo S. Kolstad, State
ASC administrative officer, for
their use in answering further in
quiries by farmers. 1t says:
The Social Security Admins
tration and the Internal Revenue
Service have taken the position
that soil bank payments, if made
to the operator of a farm, are in
the nature of receipts from farm
operations in that they replaced
TO a certain extent income which
the farm operator could have ex-
pected to receive from the nor
NAL use of the land. Such pay
ments, thus. are comparable to
earnings from the operation of
the farm, and therefore soil bank
payments will generally be in
cluded In computing the amount
to be reported as earnings from
self-employment by a farm OPP
orator. Under the Social Security
Act, owner-operators, farm part
ners, Joint venturers, share ten
ants and sharecroppers r con-
sidered to be farm operators.
1.-THE status of the conservation
reserve reimbursement payments,
however, will depend upon wheth-
er such reimbursement payments
IT made for items allowable for
income tax purposes as current
business expenses or whether
they II for items which repre-
sent capital expenditures. If the
reimbursement payment is attrib-
utable TO an item of current ex-
pense, the reimbursement consti-
ordinary income and is cred
as earnings from self-em-
On the other hand, if

reimbursement for such expendi- :
ure would not be taken into ac- !
in computing earnings from

1855 Returns
Aid Taxpayers,
Director Advises

Federal income taxpayers who
sought aid last year from the In
ternal Revenue Service should be
sure to dig out their 1855 returns
as a guide in preparing the 1856
forms, if they had questions or
problems then which will recur
this year, District Director Frank
j. Healy cautioned taxpayers in
this area today.
There is little change in the
forms normally used by most tax
payers except for a few points
of Qualification and generally i'm
proved Typography" Mr.. Healy
said. These minor %revisions are
not likely to affect problems which
were common to many taxpayers
last year and which we were hap
Ply to help solve.
Taxpayers referring to last
years return, while working with
the 1856 forms and the excellent
instruction booklet, should be able
to come up with the right answer
without too much difficulty. They
can probably do a better job than
they think.
Where new circumstances have
developed and present new prob
lens, we're happy to help, and
a telephone call will probably
clear up the trouble. 1t usually
necessary to visit our offices,
although help is of course avail
able there to those who have spe-
cial and complex problems"
Mr.. Healy urged Montana tax
payers to file each years returns
carefully among their important
papers, and to keep with them all
personal papers, cancelled checks,
receipts, etc, which relate to in
come and expenditure, for at least
.hree years.
