security district office.
Ministers who file their Fed
eral self employment tax returns
on a calendar year l»asis have
until April 15, 1965 to elect social

There are two Ira sic actions a
minister must take if he drain's
to elect social security coverage
under his new amendment First,
he must file Form 2tr.11 with the
District Director of Internal Re
venue. Second, he must pay any
social security lax due starling
with his 1962 taxable year. This
ran h«- done hv filing amended
Federal tax returns for 1962 and
1961.
"We Will he glad to discuss
these new provisions with anj
ministers if they will contact our
office, or they may secure infor
mation from any Federal Infer
