Example

Your client works during the winter as an employee at a nonfarming job and works on his farm the rest of the year. Does he qualify for the estimated tax benefits afforded to farmers?

Field Input
Gross Income section
All wages $15,000
Dividend income $1,200
Schedule F Gross income $80,000
Gross Farm Income section
Schedule F Gross income $80,000

In this example, your client qualifies for the farmer's calculation of estimated tax because the gross farming income is more than 2/3 of total income. The gross farming income in this example is 83.1601% of total income.

Note: All gross farming income must be entered in both the Gross Income section and the Gross Farm Income section.
