HEARNE WCSC - Radio 485 East Bay Street Charleston, South Carolina Farmers Told To Keep Records Farmers should keep adequate records in order to be able to file complete tax returns, R. C. Pitts, District Director of Internal Rev- .enue, Columbia, announced today. Mr. Pitts continued. “By all means keep a complete record of all your income, and all your ex penses from your faming opera tion. Keep your records up to- date by recording daily each sale of a farm product and each ex pense for feed, fertilizer, and oth er farm expenses. Personal living expenses, such as your own food, clothing, and the like, are not con sidered farm expenses. This rec ord of your farm expenses and in come will make the job of filing tax returns at the end of each year easy.” Tax returns for farm income in 1955 should be completed and mailed with the tax to the Dis trict Director of Internal Reve nue, Columbia, immediately af ter the close of the year. Do not wait for the April 15 deadline. “Many more tax returns from farmers will be received this year,” Mr. Pitts added. “This is true because the coverage of farm operators by social security will require a tax return from every farmer who nets as much as $400 from his farming, even if no in come tax is payable. Tax return forms for farmers may be se cured by writing the District Di rector of Internal Revenue, Col umbia.” Mr. Fitts advises, “If you are a farm operator, whether you raise peanuts, popcorn, pigs poul try or other farm product you will pay self-employmeint tax and thereby earn social security cred it provided of course that you net $400 from your fanning in the taxable year.” Municipal Meet At Spartanburg The 1956 annual meeting of the Municipal association of South Carolina will be held in Spartan burg on February 26. 27 and 28, according to an announcement by Mayor Kinard.
