Addressing Your Most Common Challenges

By partnering with Polston Tax, you can receive support from a dedicated team of farming accountants, tax preparers and tax professionals. Our agribusiness accounting and tax services are available to companies in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Nevada. We also provide online support to businesses nationwide.

Polston Tax understands the challenges you face as a farmer, and we provide the support you need to address these hurdles. Our team is here to help you through:

Regulatory Complexity

Federal and state laws are dense for the agricultural industry. Government programs add even more considerations to your list of compliance requirements. Partnering with Polston Tax ensures you don’t have to manage these regulations alone.

Temporary Tax Provisions

Many tax provisions in the industry are valuable but also have expiration dates. As a part of tax planning, we can help you understand when a tax provision is applicable and when you need to pivot your approach.

Deduction Opportunities

You may not be fully aware of the deductions available to you in your situation. At Polston Tax, we have a strong understanding of tax law in the agricultural industry to provide the in-depth knowledge you need to maximize your return.

Agriculture-Specific Tax Credits You Should Know

Tax credits enable you to subtract money directly from the taxes your business owes. They are often specific to particular industries, making working with accounting professionals who know your sector essential. They can help you benefit from applicable federal and state reductions.

Individual states offer farmers credit for activities such as investing in conservation. For example, past Oregon projects have earned conservation tax credits for activities such as upgrading to energy-efficient solar in greenhouses — other state concessions cover activities like adopting solar or wind turbines on a farm. Charitable activities may also qualify for state tax credits, such as donating crops to food banks. 

At Polston Tax, we have the knowledge to assist you with agriculture taxes. If you own a farm or other agriculture company, a few federal credits might apply:

  • Fuel Tax Credit: If you use fuel for farm equipment, this credit can help offset taxes on qualified fuel purchases. Nontaxable fuels include gasoline, aviation gasoline, undyed diesel and undyed kerosene.
  • Research and development (R&D) tax credit: This reduction applies to research activities across industries, but agricultural research can qualify. These practices may include new farming techniques, soil health procedures and equipment innovations.
  • Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Farmers with moderate-to-low incomes can claim this assistance on their personal tax returns to receive a tax break.

Resolving Tax Disputes in the Agriculture Industry

with Polston Tax

Operating in the agriculture industry, your business is subject to precise income reporting and tax filing requirements. Complex codes apply to subjects like agricultural land valuation, sales tax on farm supplies and equipment, crop and livestock sales, employment taxes and equipment depreciation.

Missing a detail or due date could prompt the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or your state’s tax commission to audit your farm or impose a penalty. Polston Tax advocates for agriculture industry businesses by offering comprehensive tax resolution services. Whether you’re facing an appeal or a court appearance, our team provides support at various levels to help resolve your dispute.

Our tax law professionals are experienced attorneys and accountants who can guide your business to a feasible tax debt balance. We are familiar with the forms and processes involved in disputing tax claims, and our staff interfaces with IRS representatives daily. We know what it takes to improve your standing and will leverage all of our resources to achieve a favorable outcome.   

Our consultative, collaborative approach drives results for agriculture companies of all sizes. Contact us online to schedule a consultation.
