The term does not include any horse over three years old, or over four years old in the case of an Arabian horse, which, during the 24 months preceding the current calendar year, has not participated in a horserace contest on which parimutuel wagering is permitted or has not been used for breeding purposes in order to provide racehorses. (See the section on Exemptions and Exclusions at the end of these instructions.) The following instructions are to be observed in completing the return. They are lettered to correspond with the letters on the face of the form. NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS NAME (PERSON OR CORPORATION) If the name is preprinted, check the spelling and correct any error. In the case of a proprietorship, enter that last name first, then the first name and initial. Partnerships, joint owners, and syndicates must list the names and mailing addresses of all partners, joint owners, or syndicate members and attach the list to this form. Corporation names should be complete so they will not be confused with fictitious or DBA (Doing Business As) names. DBA OR FICTITIOUS NAME Enter the DBA name under which you are operating in this county below the name of the proprietor, partnership, joint ownership, syndicate, or corporation. This may be a ranch or stable name. MAILING ADDRESS Enter the mailing address of the legal entity shown above. This may be either a street address or a post office box number. It may differ from the location of the horses. Include the city, state, and zip code. LOCAL PHONE NUMBER Enter the local phone number in this county where we may contact you or your authorized representative for information regarding the horses. If there is no local phone number, enter the area code and number and name of the city where you may be called. TYPE OF OWNERSHIP Check the appropriate box.
