Pictured left Hess, secretary. proposals suggest similar cutoffs. Limiting farm loss to $lO,OOO would have meant higher taxes for 3.3 percent of the 1,3 million individuals reporting a farm loss in 1970, adding $258 million in Federal tax revenues. A $20,000 limitation would have affected 1.2 percent of the loss returns and boosted tax revenues by $166 million. And a $30,000 limitation would have affected 0.6 percent of farm loss returns, raising $122 million in revenues. The report also discusses characteristics of farm loss returns. For instance, more than 90 percent of reported farm losses were under $50,000 in 1970, while 3 percent were $25,000 or more. Individuals reporting losses represented 43 per cent of the total number filing farm tax returns in 1970. This percentage has been trending upward in recent years.
