Agricultural Program Payments


JackieCPA

Recommended Posts

I have a new client this year who is an active farmer (with a schedule F).

He is also on social security benefits.

He receives Ag. program payments. Prior preparer put those on the schedule F. 

My understanding is that if the taxpayer is on social security they do not have to pay self-employment tax on the payments and those payments should not be reported on the schedule F.

 

Am I correct or is the prior preparer correct?

 

Thanks! :)

What if the Farmer is still actively farming?

You can collect SS benefits, but still be working the farm. 

And we can only exclude CRP from SE?  If so, report on Sch F for matching, but not taxed, and then move to line 21? (the OLD line 21...;)

Marie is correct, CRP payments are included on F but excluded on SE.

Other ag payments not excluded from SE.
