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.
