Self-Employed Farm
Folks Social Security
Alternate Method Can Be Used For
Figuring Their Earnings

Self-employed farmers may use
an alternate method for figuring
their earnings from their farm
Myron Milbouer, District Manager
of the local Social Security Ad-
ministration office. and H. Leland
Brown, District Director of Inter
nal Revenue, reminded farm opera
tors today.
Mr. Brown pointed out that self
employed farmers may figure their
earnings for social security in sew
eral ways.
% If our gross income from ag-
ricultural self-employment is not
more than $500, you may count as
your net farm earnings either your
actual net or 2/3 of your farm gross
income;
(2), If your gross farm income
is more than $500, and your net
farm earnings are less than $1,000,
you may use either your actual net
or $1200;
90 If your gross farm income is
more than $500 and your net farm
earnings are $1,000 or more, YOU
MUST use the actual amount of
your net earnings.
Mr.. Brown added that use of the
option will enable farmers with
gross income as low as $500 to OBJ
tain social security protection for
themselves in their ole age and for
their survivors in case of death.
However. he emphasized that re-
o,.d1 of In h ia1N
figure your net earnings, you must
have net earnings of at least $400
(from farming alone, or in COM
bination with other Sc earnings)
in orders to get social security
credit for the year.
In addition to the revised Op-
tional method, the 1856 amendments
extended social security coverage
to some farm owners who receive
cash or crop shares from tenant
farmers. If the .farm-landlord under
his agreement with his tenant, ma
terially participates in the produc-
ton or management of production
OF the farm crops raised on his
land, this income, formerly ex-
cluded as rental income, may be re-
ported for social security purposes.
This provision is effective for tax
able years ending after 1855.
Requests for information regard
ing taxes due and tax return forms
should be directed to the Internal
Revenue Office at Wilmington.
Questions concerning the old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance
program will be answered by your
social security office at 504 w. 10th
Street in Wilmington.
