Agricultural Issues & Rural Investments Webinar

Tue., Dec. 9, 2025 / 2-4 PM (Central) or
Wed., Dec. 10, 2025 / 10 AM-12 PM (Central)

Farm taxation comes with rules and opportunities unlike any other sector. From entity structuring and depreciation strategies to disaster relief provisions, corporate tax issues, and OBBBA updates, tax professionals serving agricultural clients must navigate a landscape that is both highly technical and constantly evolving.

This 2-hour webinar will provide a practical, big-picture look at the most pressing tax issues affecting farmers, ranchers, and rural businesses today. Participants will explore strategies for year-end planning, managing self-employment taxes, handling involuntary conversions and losses, and leveraging rural investment incentives. The program will also address long-term considerations, giving practitioners the tools to better advise clients across both day-to-day operations and high-stakes planning decisions.

Whether your clients are small family farms or multi-entity operations, this session will deliver timely insights to help you anticipate challenges, spot opportunities, and provide proactive tax guidance that will showcase your value to farm tax clients.

Fall Tax School attendees will receive FREE access to this webinar. A coupon and registration instructions will be emailed at the end of the Fall Tax School season.
