1 4 "A House Resolution requesting the United States
1 5 Congress to enact legislation clarifying that
1 6 conservation reserve payments are not subject to
1 7 self-employment social security taxes.
1 8 WHEREAS, many family farmers in Iowa participate in
1 9 the federal conservation reserve program and rely on
1 10 payments from this program to continue to operate
1 11 their family farms; and
1 12 WHEREAS, requiring family farmers in Iowa to remit
1 13 self-employment social security taxes on conservation
1 14 reserve payments would constitute an undue hardship on
1 15 family farmers in Iowa and work to defeat one of the
1 16 intended purposes of the conservation reserve program,
1 17 which is to preserve the family farm; and
1 18 WHEREAS, United States Representative Moran of
1 19 Kansas and United States Representative Pomeroy of
1 20 North Dakota have introduced legislation to clarify
1 21 that farmers are not required to pay self-employment
1 22 social security taxes on conservation reserve
1 23 payments; NOW THEREFORE,
1 24 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
1 25 That the Iowa House of Representatives urges the
1 26 Congress of the United States to enact H.R. 4064,
1 27 introduced by Representatives Moran of Kansas and
1 28 Representative Pomeroy of North Dakota, that will
1 29 clarify the tax treatment of conservation reserve
1 30 payments, exempting such payments from self-employment
1 31 social security taxes."
