Points Given By OSC on Preparing Farm Tax Returns A larger number of Oregon farm era than ever before are going to be faced with the necessity of turn ing in an income tax estimate be tween now and Dec 15, points out the farm management department at Oregon State college. Under the pay-as-you-go provi sion of the 1943 law, persons who receive as much as $100 income from sources on which there is no withholding must flubmit a declar ation provided their total income from all sources exceeds $500 for single persons and $624 for married persons. The tax law itself provides that all farmers must file a return if gross income is $500 or more for single person,5!, or $1200 if married. Various changes in administrative aspects of thee laws have not changed the fundamentals of ac counting required in making the actual returns next March, the de partment points out. Farm incomes can be computed on eihter a cash or accrual ba,c,is, but if a change to the accrual method is desired, per mission must be obtained from the federal and state income tax of fices within 90 dayfl of the begin ning of a farmer's fiscal year. The accrual method differs from cash method chiefly in that a com plete inventory of business assets is required at the beginning and end of the year, which automatically takes care of depreciation and changes in items held for resale Any farmer who has kept a record of hi$ receipts and expenses and a list of items subject to depreciation can summarize his accounts and make the preliminary report for Dec. 15 with little extra effort. If he hasn't kept such accounts, men in the department suggest that he immediately bring together all hills, cancelled checks, and other eviden ces of transaction, so far this year and compile the information as fully as possible- Where written evidence is not at hand careful e?timates .are required. The new Oregon cash farm re cord book, available from any county extension office at cost, will be useful in helping compile re cords and making out return even though it has not been used through the year, the department states.
