Small farms will typically fill out a schedule F for their farm activities. However, Cares Act funding has many of you doing non-farm activities. To make sure you pay the least amount of taxes on these funds, you should file a Schedule C and deduct eligible expenses.

In this webinar, Mark Thompson from the IDRS Acorn Project will discuss what the Schedule C is and who it is for, how to fill it out, and when and how to file it.

This is the second workshop in the Ag Recordkeeping Series.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, March 25th at 4:00 pm Mountain.  This workshop will be delivered online utilizing the Zoom platform. The workshop can be taken on computers and smartphones.
