Answer: Yes, you can. 1 1 i ouii-empiuyea people wnn more than one business or trade during the year should combine the net profits (or losses) from all of the business activities that are covered by social security. If the total net profit is $400 or more, it counts for social security.

How do I know that I am actually getting credit for the taxes I have paid? Answer: It's a good business man who wants to know where his money is going and to be certain that he is receiving full value for THE CLOTHMAKER his tax dollar. Your local social security district office has a post card (Form OAR7004) which you mail into the social security accounting office in Baltimore, Maryland, and receive a statement of your personal social security account. The statement will not show what you have paid in self-employ ment taxes, but will show the amount of self-employment income (your business profit) which your tax was based upon.

It explains how social security credits are earned, how many are needed, and how to estimate the amount of benefits that will be payable. This free leaflet is available upon request. Question: I have a little business of my own. My neighbor tells me that I should get social security credit for my work and that I should report it on mv federal income tax return. Since I only make about $500 a year, I don't file an income tax return any longer. What should I do?
