ALTERNATE METHOD
AVAILABLE
An alternate method is available
to self-employed farmers and
ranchers for figuring net earnings
for social security, John D. Pal-
mer, manager of the San Antonio
district social security office, said
today. This method can be used
by any person who is self-employed
in an agricultural enterprise re-
gardless of whether he is the in-
dividual owner or a partner. The
method may be also used regard-
less of whether the business is re-
ported on an accrual or a cash
basis.
If the self-employed farmer has
gross earnings of more than $1800,
but net earnings are less than
$1200, he may choose to report
either the actual net earnings or
$1200 for social security purposes.
If the self-employed farmer has
gross earnings of not more than
$1800 he may elect to report either
his actual net earnings or two-
thirds of his gross earnings. If
the gross earnings of a farmer are
over $1800 and his actual net earn-
ings are over $1200 he must re-
port the actual net earnings up to
a maximum of $4200 for the year.
There must be a minimum of $400
in net earnings from agriculture
which is reported in order for it
to count for social security.
These new rules are in effect
for any taxable year ending on
December 31, 1956, or later. This
means that you may use this new
method for 1956 earnings if you
are reporting on a calendar year
basis.
