OVERVIEW

If you earn a living as a self-employed farmer, you may need to include a Schedule F attachment with your tax return to report your profit or loss for the year. The Internal Revenue Service defines “farmer” in a very broad sense—whether you grow crops, raise livestock, breed fish or operate a ranch.

Are you a cash or accrual farmer?

There are a few ways to report income and expenses from your farming activities.

Cash method

You report harvest revenue in the year cash is received from buyers and deduct all farming expenses in the year you pay them.

Accrual method Essentially the opposite of the cash method, in that you record farming income in the year you finalize a sale—even if you don't get paid until the following year—and deduct costs in the year you become liable for payment, regardless of when you actually pay them. Essentially the opposite of the cash method, in that you record farming income in the year you finalize a sale—even if you don't get paid until the following year—and deduct costs in the year you become liable for payment, regardless of when you actually pay them. Crop method You wait until the year you sell your crops to report the related income and expenses on Schedule F, if you obtain IRS approval first.

Money you earn through a farming cooperative

Payments you get from an agricultural program And if your profits aren't consistent from year to year, the IRS may allow you to spread your current year's farming profits over the last three years so that you don't end up paying high rates of tax in your successful years. Deductible farming expenses You can deduct the costs you incur that are an ordinary and necessary expense of farming on Schedule F to reduce the profit—or increase the loss—on which you'll owe taxes. Some of the expenses that farmers commonly deduct cover the cost of livestock and feed, seeds, fertilizer, wages paid to employees, interest paid during the year on farm-related loans, depreciation to recover a portion of equipment costs, utilities and insurance premiums.

Can my Neighbour attach things to my fence?

The simple answer is: yes, as long as you receive their express permission. Without your neighbour's permission, hanging plants, painting, or leaning something against their fence that causes damage can land you in trouble.

birkdalesales.com - Boundary Rights For Fencing: All You Need To Know - Birkdale

Your property boundary and the laws surrounding this are not something you think about very often. But when it comes to replacing, repairing, or installing an entirely new fence, it pays to know exactly what you can and cannot do. So, to help you avoid costly mistakes, unwanted stress, and to stay on the right side of your neighbours, we explain all you need to know about your boundary rights in this article.

Do I need my neighbour’s permission to replace fencing?

Prior to starting any work, you will need to establish who is responsible for the fence in question. A common misconception is that every house is responsible for the boundary to its left. While this is true for many properties, it is not always the case, and you should check your property deeds for confirmation – which can be requested from Land Registry. If you find the fence is located on your neighbour’s property, the best thing to do is simply start a conversation. Ask if they are aware of the damage and what their plans are on replacing the fence. They may not even be aware of the problem, especially if the damage is worse on your side. An important note: Your neighbours are not legally obliged to replace a fence unless it is posing a safety issue. So, if you find yourself at a crossroads, a final option may be to erect a new fence on your own land. You can do this without their permission, as long as it is inside your boundary and on your private property.
