  • Gross income is an average of 2020 to 2022 items on your income tax return. However, we must wait on USDA for regulations to determine what they consider to be farm income. Either way, gross revenue is much easier for the farmer to be a "farmer" than AGI.

The article from AgWeb provides a comprehensive guide for farmers on calculating their farm income for tax purposes. It outlines key steps and considerations for the tax year, including understanding the difference between cash and accrual accounting methods, which are crucial for accurately reporting income and expenses. The piece discusses how to account for inventory, the importance of keeping detailed records of all transactions, and how to handle depreciation of farm equipment and buildings. It also covers special considerations like the treatment of crop insurance proceeds, government payments, and the potential for income averaging to manage tax liabilities. Additionally, the article emphasizes the need for farmers to be aware of tax deadlines, potential deductions, and credits specific to agriculture, such as the Domestic Production Activities Deduction, and offers advice on consulting with tax professionals to navigate the complexities of farm taxation effectively.
