Farm improvements

Can You Write Off Farm Improvements?

Short answer: Barns, fences, and grain bins are depreciable, and many qualify for full expensing.

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.
