YOUR 1958 FEDERAL INCOME TAX (FARRIERS) 



If you had gross income of $600 or more during your tax year and you are a 

 citizen or resident of the United States, you must file a Federal Income Tax return 

 even though no tax is due. This also applies to minor children. There is only 

 one exception to this rule. If you are 65 years of age or over at the end of your 

 tax year you are not required to fil«-* a return unless your gross Income is $1200 or 

 more. 



When to file your income tax return 



If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming and your tax year 

 starts January 1, you have two choices. 



1. File your return and pay the tax on or before February 15, 1959; or 



2. File an estimate of your tax and pay this amount by January 15, 1959. 

 Then file your return and pay any balance due by April 15, 1959. 



Where to file 



Mail your return to the District Director of Internal Revenue for the district 

 in which you live. For Massachusetts, this is Boston, Massachusetts. 



The forms you use 



As a farmer you use these forms for filing your tax return. 



Form 1040 - this is your return on which you compute your tax. 



Schedule F. This form gives you a place to list all your farm income and 

 deductions and determine your net farm profit or loss. Attached to this form is 

 the form on which you figure your social security tax. 



Schedule D. This form is used to show your gains and losses from sales of 

 capital assets and certain property used in your farming business such as dairy, 

 or breeding animals and farming equipment.
