Cash Paid Farm Employees Must Be Reported January 31, 1958 is the deadline for reporting the cash wagea paid in 1957 to farm employees, H. O. Garvin, Senior Agent, Internal Revenue Service, Greenwood, stat ed today. Farm operators or farm owners who have paid as much as $150 in cash wages to any farm worker in their employ during 1957 must file an employers’ tax and infor mation return for such farm em ployees. They must also report each farm employee who worked for them on 20 or more days dur ing 1957 regardless of the amount of those wages if they were figur ed on a time rather than a piece rate basis. For 1957, the social security tax rate is 4 1-2 percent (2 1-4 per cent each for employer and em ployee.) This tax applies to cash wages paid to a farm worker up to a total of $4200 in the year. The tax amount must be entered on Form 943 (Employer’s Annual Tax Return for Agricultural Em ployees) together with the total amount of cash wages paid to the farm worker. It is required that the farm employer do this and file the return with the District Di rector of Internal Revenue, Co lumbia, S. C. on or before the due date mentioned above. Mr. Garvin points out that when a farm employee meets the 20-day a year test the farm em ployer should count only days for which the employee works for cash wages figured on a time ba sis. However, if the worker nfeets this test, the farm employer must pay social security taxes on all cash wages paid the employee dur ing the year (whether on a time, piecework, or othdr basis.) Farm employees include house hold workers if they are employed on a farm operated for profit.
