MU Extension offers free farm tax workshops

University of Missouri Extension will host free farm tax workshops in December to update farmers and ranchers on farm and individual tax filings.

MU Extension agriculture business specialist Mary Sobba said farmers can attend via Zoom or in person at locations throughout the state. Attendees can choose either the Dec. 1 or Dec. 6 session.

Topics include farm income averaging, bonus vs. Section 179 depreciation, income leveling techniques, charitable contributions, weather-related sales of livestock, health savings accounts, like-kind exchanges and 1099s. Sobba also will share IRS resources and updates that farmers and ranchers will find helpful.

Register for the free workshop at least two days before the session. Sign up at mizzou.us/FarmTaxWorkshops2022 or use the contact information listed below for your selected location. To register for the online class, call Sobba at 573-581-3231.

Class size is limited for in-person classes, she says.
