Can You Write Off Buying Farmland?
Short answer: No deduction for the land itself; fences, wells, drainage, and buildings on it can be depreciated.
Farmers report on Schedule F; ordinary farm costs are deductible, and equipment can be expensed with Section 179 or bonus depreciation.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
