INCOME TAX LESS
FOR FARMERS WHO
HAVE GOOD BOOKS
With the lowering of federal in
come tax exemptions, more Oregon
farmers than ever before are realiz
ing that farm records are not only
desirable as a business help but are
well nigh indispensable in connection
with the state and federal income tax
systems, says Dr. G. W. Kuhlman,
associate professor of farm manage
ment at Oregon State college.
On the basis of the 1940 census re
port of farm income alone, it is es
timated that approximately half of
the farmers in Oregon are required
to make income tax reports for 1941
The new revenue act requires filing
a return by the head of every family
with a gross income of $1500 or
more, or $750 in the case of a single
person.
Many farm operators have supple
mental income in addition to that
from farm sales, which must be con
sidered. Dr. Kuhlman emphasizes
the fact that a return must be filed
on the basis of gross income, regard
less of whether deductions are suffi-
cient to eliminate an actual tax.
Farmers who have been keeping
books are finding that their financial
records keep their income tax bur
den to a minimum by allowing them
to take advantage of the inventory
rather than mere cash basis returns
each year. For example, two dairy-
men in partnership, with gross sales
of from $10,000 to $16,000 per year
have been paying little tax because
expenses in building up their busi
ness have largely balanced their in
come. Now, faced with a lease ex
piration and the dissolving of the
partnership, they will be subject to
a far heavier tax than if they had
paid each year as their inventory
was built up.
Another example cited by Dr.
Kuhlman is a wheat farmer who has
been following the cash basis of re
porting and cannot consider wheat
under loan as a sale, hence may be

possible by keeping farm records,
eliminates such situations and equal-
