Show By Bob Murdock REFUND - REFUND FOR YOU! Has a good sound, doesn't it? Better still it's true! You'll be able to claim a refund of 2 cents per gallon of gas used for farming farm-ing on your farm from January 1, 1956 to July 1, 1956. Claims are to be filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue between June 30 and October 1 of this year. Forms for filing the claim are available at your County Agent's office, located in the Frandsen Building. What You Need To Do to Get This Refund (1) Determine the gallons of .gas bought since January 1 for use on the farm. Some of you will merely need to add the gallons used as recorded in your farm account book. (Let's hope you recored the amount as vell as the cost.) If you use our new Utah Farm Farriily Account Book you'll probably' have this data since we provided a column to enter this data. (Forgive us for the plug.) Others will have to search for delivery receipts, paid bills, cancelled checks, or perhaps an obliging supplier who will dig back through his accounts to get this information for you. (2) Determine the amount of gas used on the farm for farming purposes. Gas used in vehicles on public roads county, state or federal is not eligible for this refund. Since most of our farms are scattered and since we must travel public roads to do our farming and since many farmers have bulk delivery and pump gas into cars and trucks as well as tractors, some estimate must be made of the amount of gas actually act-ually used on the farm for farming farm-ing purposes. This will include gas which you used on your farm and gas which a custom operator used on your farm doing custom work -Since any of us may be call i upon to explain or justify the f ures in our claim we must h good reasons or explanations Tor these items To arrive at th amounts used on the farm whir! some of the amount purchased is used on county or state road, you'll need to divide your gas tween highway and farm use it doing this, adopt some mh which is reasonable and which you can justify. Such information as hours of use, consumption D4 hour, miles traveled and amour-t used in this travel, etc., will he'n you arrive at the figures for vr-Z farm. Keep the figures you to make this division; they rnav be questioned and therefore nee ed by you later to explain yoUr" claim. (3) Secure a claim form Nn 2240 of Internal. Revenue, coml plete it and file it after June n 1956. i Some Things You Might Miss EVAPORATION Don't forget evaporation loss Distributors estimate that y2 of per cent of the volume of gas on hand evaporates every 30 days These esimates are for bulk storage stor-age facilities that are buried underground' or are in overhead silver-painted, storage- tanks TRUCKS ; Some trucks travel the public roads very little in doing farm work. Examples are trucks used 1 to water turkeys or pujl camp on 1 a sheep outfit, or feed cattle. Gas ' for these uses while not on public 1 roads is eligible for refund. |
