Tax deduction methods for bad debts in federal returns
The article explains two methods for deducting bad debts in federal income tax returns, either as a deduction from gross income or as a reserve. It outlines selection rules for 1921 and 1939, approval needs, and how to compute and report the reserve. It notes that reserve permission is limited to large accounts and must reflect total debts and existing reserves, with adjustments for actual realizations. It ends with a separate note: more than one-third of Montana's farming land irrigated.
