EAST LANSING, Mich. — Join us for the Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 23, 2021, when MSU Extension Farm Business Management Educator Dr. Corey Clark will discuss why tax planning for farmers is more important than ever. A farmer’s goal for tax planning is to minimize tax liabilities and make sure you are taking advantage of all the allowable deductions. More important, it can help avoid any surprises during tax season.
Good tax planning can help your farm lower the taxable income and reduce taxes paid, helping you meet financial goals and provide for cash flow needs.
Some topics Clark will cover during her presentation include:
- Potential impact of managing farm taxes
- Important issues for 2021 tax planning
- Effective tax management strategies
Following her presentation, Clark will answer questions from participants. MSU agricultural climatologist Jeff Andresen will provide the weekly weather update following Clark’s presentation.
