Brockett Farm Management Agent Lewistown Extension Office MANAGING TAXES Farmers should spend some time on developing their tax management program or hire someone else to do it. Example: Why buy 1985 fertilizer now? There is only one reason for doing it That is if a combination of discounts on the fertilizer and tax savings on 1984 taxes exceeds the cost (or loss) of interest on the money used to make the purchase. If there is no tax savings because there are no taxes, then the discount alone must offset that interest. The answer to this problem is step one in tax management. Should you sell cows or steers or logs or land in 1984 or should you sell all or part of the item in 1985? This one becomes a little more complicated than the fertilizer problem because (a) will the cost of keeping the item be greater than the entire tax, (b) will prices be higher or lower later, (c) will the buyer still want the property later or (d) do you even have taxes to pay? Let’s Start Estimating your 1984 tax con sequences can be done. It will require (1) a good set of records and (2) last years tax return. First, get your record book in shape. Then add up all of your income and expenses. Subtract the income from the sale of capital items such as dairy or breeding animals, timber, and land. Then subtract the expenses from the income. Multiply the result by 1.2. That is your cash farm return. Now turn to your 1983 return. Find line 53 on Schedule F and subtract the amount on that line from the above answer. Now you have an estimated farm profit. Compare it to the amount on line 19 of 1983 form 1040. How much above or below is it? Next take your 10 month capital sale income and add to it an estimated income from capital sales for November and December. Multiply that answer by 0.4. Compare the result to line 13 on the 1983 form 1040. Is it above or below? Now that you have an idea of whether the 1984 taxable income is higher or lower than the 1983 taxable income, you are ready to make some decisions.

Sins On Rsqusst To order WHOLESALE AND RETAIL (fApg -Tech Industries 325 West Main St. Decide: (a) should I try to reduce it, (b) do I have investment credit left over or will I have in vestment credit from purchases this year, or (c) will I actually be further ahead leaving it higher? If (a): If you answer yes to this, the fastest way to reduce it is to buy fertilizer, feed, seeds, or supplies ahead. Second is to buy machinery. Third is to buy buildings. If (b); You have opened up some additional questions. Is the available credit greater than last year? If so you may wind up with a very similar situation to last year. If (c): Sometimes reducing taxable income can cost you money, especially in the $5OOO to $7OOO area. This is where earned income credit is the greatest. It will probably be high enough to pay all or most of your social security tax. Decide: (a) should I reduce it further, (b) leave well enough alone, or (c) raise it. If (a): Use the same answer as in (a) above. If (b); Sometimes nothing is the best solution. If (c); Raising it to take full advantage of all available deductions and credits can be the best move. Raising it would entail selling extra commodities such as com or holding off on expenses until January.
