Cash rent from farmland

Varies

Can You Write Off Cash Rent From Farmland?

Short answer: Yes, it's taxable: cash rent from farmland goes on Schedule E and isn't subject to self-employment tax.

Crop-share rent is different and goes on Form 4835 if you don't materially participate.

Records to keep: Keep leases, receipts, a log of repairs vs improvements, mileage to the property, and closing statements.
