Farm Specialists
Conclude Series
Of Tax Stories
(This article, completing a se
ries describing the provisions
of the Federal income and So
cial Security tax laws as they
affect farm people, was pre
pared by Charles R. Pugh. W.
U Turner and C. W. Williams,
extension farm management -specialists,
N. C. State Col
lege.) '
Amendments to the Social Se
curity law by the 1954 Congress
bring coverage to self-employed
farmers for the first time starting
with the taxable year 1955, and ex
tend coverage to many additional
farm employees. Social Security
is a federal sponsored program of
fering insurance to workers and
their dependents against complete
loss of income due either to the
death or retirement of the worker.
Payments or benefits are generally
based upon the period of service
and taxable income during the ser
vice period.
Self-employment taxes for So
cial Security purposes and Federal
income taxes are related to the ex
tent that both are collected by the
Internal Revenue Service at the
same time. Also the same account
ing methods and. records must
serve as the basis of the two types
of taxes. Self-employment taxes
differ from Federal income taxes in
that they go into the Old-Age and
Survivor's Insurance Fund from
which Social Security benefits are
paid rather than into the general
funds of the U. S. Treasury.
Some self-employed farmers may
owe no income tax due to the size
of deductions and personal exemp
tions but still must complete Sched
ule F, Form 1040 to determine
earnings from self-employment for
social security tax purposes.
Schedule F is arranged so that
the computation of self-employment
tax from farming will follow
as the form is filled in.
In calculating : self-employment
earnings from farming, the individ
ual farmer may have to make some
adjustments in the figure upon
which Federal income taxes are
based. The exclusions in determin
ing net earnings from self -employment
include any income and ex
penses associated with (1) rentals
in the form of crop shares, which
are considered as an investment re
turn to the landlord rather than
self-employment income; (2) gains
or losses. from the sale of capital
assets and depreciable property
such as sales of livestock held for
draft,' breeding,' or dairy purposes
or sales of machinery and real es-,
tate; and (3) deductions for net op
erating losses of other years,

ings from all sources are $4200.!
Therefore the maximum income
subject; to the 3 per cent Self-employment
tax Is $4200 minus the
amount of covered wages received
as an employee.
Farmers reporting their income
on the "cash" basis may wish to
use an optional method to stabi
lize their coverage from year-to-year.
If the gross income from
farming (with adjustments as men
tioned above) is between $800 and
$1800, the .self-employed farmer
may pay Social Security taxes on
one-half of this gross amount. If
the gross income from farming
(with adjustments) is more than
$1800, and the computed net earn
ings from self-employment from
fanning arc less than $900, Social
$!)00.
