Crop-share rent

Varies

Can You Write Off Crop-share Rent?

Short answer: Yes, it's taxable: a landowner's share of crops is income on Form 4835 when sold or used, and you deduct your share of seed, fertilizer, and costs.

Landowners who materially participate report it on Schedule F instead.

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