Deductions May Be Claimed For Moving Expense If you were transferred by your employer to another city this year, don't forget to claim the allowable deductions for moving expenses in your 1972 tax return, says Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Extension adviser, Home Economics. The Internal Revenue Ser­ vice requires that your em­ ployer give you the form No. 4782, "Employee Moving Expense Information." This form specifies just which costs are deductible and which are not. A recent change in the law adds some new categories of moving costs that may be deducted. These now include expenses of a house-hunting trip, temporary lodging and the costs of selling and buying a home. THE LAW SERVES YOU Corporate Farm Has Its-Merits The corporate form of farm ownership may be the coming thing and is something for every farm family to think about, according to the Illinois State Bar association. Whereas there are no figures on the total number of v in­ corporated farms in the United .States or in Illinois, the ISBA says many attorneys report a definite upsurge in the filing of incorporation papers by far­ mer-clients. The bar group says in­ corporation of the family, farm hasn't resulted in the disap­ pearance of the farm family. Some 75 per cent of in­ corporated farms covered by one. study remained in the hands of the farm family as shareholders and operators. And the key to success was still the hard work and long hoursput in by the corporate farm owners themsplvp* Among advantages of cor­ poration ownership, the ISBA cited these: Transfer of controlling in­ terest: Incorporation often facilitates the transfer of controlling interest and operational responsibility from one member of the family to another. Thus, the farmer who wishes to retire may invest his son with majority stock interest while retaining a minority interest that will provide in­ come to him from farm profits. Continuity of farm operation in case of death: Incorporation may serve to assure retention of the farm as a business entity for the next succeeding generation. Upon the death of aprincipal owner-operator, his interest can readily be divided among his heirs. Heirs can name one of their number as operator or hire someone else to run the farm while they share in the proceeds according totheir stock interest.This often avoids differences among family members as to how the farm is to be operated and income shared. Fringe benefits: Some of the income from farm operations can be used to finance certain fringe benefits, including life *• insurance, medical insurance retirement plans which le available to members farm family as em­ ployees of the corporation. This often is advantageous from a tax standpoint, too. Another benefit cited by the ISBA is the protection of members of the farm family from personal liability should someone : suffer an injury on the farm. Liability for damages in such situations normally would be limited to the cor­ poration. Corporate ownership or­ dinarily involves more record keeping and other paperwork, including reports to the Secretary of State, than the farm owner may be ac­ customed to but the additional bookwork can be beneficial in pinpointing profit or loss. The disadvantages of incorporation - and there are some- depend largely upon the individual circumstances which should be taken up in consultation with an attorney, the ISBA said. • * • ».
