their 1977 income tax returns,
IhL filing date for farmers and
ranchers is much sooner. (
“Agricultural producers who
did not file an estimate of their
income by Jan. 16 and did not
pay the estimated taxes must
file their tax returns and pay
due taxes by March 1", points
out Dr. Richard Trimble,
deducitons will need to make an
adjustment if his itemized
deductions exceed the amount
allowed for his particular filing
status."
Another change is that the
deduction of $750 for each
exemption ami the general tax
credit have been built into the
new tax tables, so there is no

economist in management for need for the taxpayer to
the Texas Agricultural Exten determine these. The general
sion Service. "However, if
farmers filed an estimate, they
have until the April 17 deadline
to file final returns."
Trimble notes that several
changes were made in the
income tax law during 1977
which should be of interest to
Texas farmers and ranchers.
A major change was the
elimination of the standard
deduction and the low income
allowance. These two items
have been replaced by a fiat
amount called “zero bracket
amount." This amount depends
on your filing status.
. "The zero bracket amount is
not a separate deduction, but
the equivalent amount is built
into the new simplified tax
tables and fax rate schedules,'
tax credit has also been revised
to consider exemptions for age
and blindness, adds Trimble.
Filing requirements have
also been changed for the 1977
tax year. For example, an
individual must file a return if
his gross income is $2,950 or
more and a married couple
under 65 years of age must file
if their joint gross income is
more than $4,700. If both are 65
or older, they may make $6,200
before being required to file a
return.
There are many other minor
changes, and Trimble suggests
several publications that may
be of help. One publication is
No. 17, "Your Federal Income
Tax", 1978 edition, from the
Internal Revenue Service. An
