Grain bins

$10,000-$100,000

Can You Write Off Grain Bins?

Short answer: Yes: grain bins are 7-year farm property and can be expensed with Section 179 or bonus depreciation.

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.
