Farmers form the largest
business group filing Federal
income tax returns. They file
nearly one-third Of the total
business returns filed.
No businessman, whether he be
engaged in farming or any other
type b business. can file a
correct return unless adequate
records Of business and expenses
are maintained throughout the
year.
There are many sources of in
formation for guides in keeping
such records. The Internal Reve-
nue. Service publishes a booklet,
the Farmers Tax Guide,
which gives a brief Illustration
Of a form the records might
take.
Many farm machinery manu-
featuring firms distribute
through dealers farm accounts
books. and some banks in agri-
cultural areas have record books
Of this type. County farm agents
can supply accounts books, and
are excellent sources of infor-
nation. The Internal Revenue
Service Offices gladly answer
any questions.
Secret Of Keeping
Good records can be very SIM
pie and informal, and require
little time to maintain. The sec
ret Of keeping accurate records
is to record the various trans
actions when they occur, and not
to depend on memory at a later
time.
The only Internal Revenue
Service, requirement as 70 &C
counting records of farmers are
that they be sufficient to enable
he farmer to prepare accurately
his tax return, and for the IRIS
0 determine the correctness of
the return filed.
There are no requirement.
whatever as to what type Of
record books should be used Or
in what manner the records
should be maintained. However

penditures for the year. They
