While some may raise cattle, poultry or fish, others grow fruits or vegetables, and all will report their farm income on Schedule F, Profit or Loss from Farming. If your clients own a farm or ranch, here are 10 tax tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Crop insurance.<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/Businesses\/Small-Businesses-&amp;-Self-Employed\/Crop-Insurance-and-Crop-Disaster-Payments-Agriculture-Tax-Tips\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-cropTips\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance payments from crop damage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> count as income. Generally, these payments should be reported in the year your clients get them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Sale of items purchased for resale.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your clients sold livestock or items that they bought for resale, they must report the sale. Their profit or loss is the difference between the selling price and their basis in the item. Basis is usually the cost of the item, and the cost may also include other expenses, such as sales tax and freight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Weather-related sales.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bad weather, such as a drought or flood, may force your clients to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sell more livestock<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than they normally would in a year. If so, they may defer tax on the gain from the sale of the extra animals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Farm expenses.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Farmers can deduct <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ordinary and necessary expenses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they paid for their business. An ordinary expense is a common and accepted cost for that type of business.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Employee wages.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your client can deduct wages they paid to their farm\u2019s full- and part-time workers. They must withhold Social Security, Medicare and income taxes from their wages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Loan repayment. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your clients can only deduct the interest they paid on a loan if the loan is used for your farming business. They can\u2019t deduct interest you paid on a personal loan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Net operating losses.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your clients expenses are more than income for the year, they may have a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">net operating loss<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can carry that loss over to other years and deduct it. They may get a refund of part or all of the income tax they paid in prior years. They may also be able to lower their tax in future years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Farm income averaging.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your clients may be able to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">average<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> some or all of the current year&#8217;s farm income by spreading it out over the past three years. This may cut their taxes if the farm income is high in the current year and low in the prior three years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Tax credit or refund. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your clients may be able to claim a tax credit or refund of excise taxes they paid on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-publication-510\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-p510\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fuel used on your farm for farming purposes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Farmers Tax Guide.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For more details on this topic, see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/uac\/About-Publication-225\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-225\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Publication 225<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <em>Farmer\u2019s Tax Guide<\/em>.
