Guns on a farm

$300-$1,500

Can You Write Off Guns on a Farm?

Short answer: Possibly, when used mainly for predator or pest control on a working farm; hunting and personal use aren't.

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.
