Only the first $4800 o f net earnings is covered by soc ial security.* The report for 1964 is due on or before April IS . 1965 and is made on the Schedule C portion o f the federal income tax form 1040. Jacobson also said that fwm owners and operators are covered as s e lf employed individuals the same as anyone els e operating a business. The farmer file s his social security tax return on the Schedule F attachment on form 1040 and pays the same rate of self eniployment tax. In addition, the farmer has an optional method for computing his net eam ings in years when profits are low. This optional provision is as follow s: If a farmer’s gross income is at least $600. but less than $1.800. he has the option of counting either his actual net or two-thirds o f his gross farm income for social security credit. If the gross farm income is over $1.800 and net farm earnings are under $1.200. a farmer may report either his actual net eam ings or $1,200: if a farmer’s gross income exceeds $1.800 and net farm eam ings are $1 .200 or more, he must use the actual amount of his net eam ings. The option enables farmers with low incomes to obtain credit to- towards social security ret i ramen and d is a b ility benefits, as well as survivor benefits for their fam ilies in case o f death. However, a farmer must have net e a r n in g s of at least $400. either actual net eam ings or by the optional method, to get social security credit for tha year. * » •••••, T h e T i m e s h a s a p l a n a f o o t to a c q u a i n t t h i s a r e a m o r e t h o r o u g h l y w ith o u r v a s t W h ite C i t y i n d u s t r i a l e n t e r p r i s e s .
