Farm Tax Planning in Practice: Applying Today's Rules to Tomorrow's Decisions

Tues., Sept. 29
8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Central

Agricultural taxation continues to evolve, making it more important than ever for tax practitioners to understand not only the latest developments but also their practical implications for client planning. This in-depth online seminar bridges the gap between complex tax law and real-world application, helping you translate current rules, recent developments, and emerging issues into informed planning strategies for your farm and agricultural clients.

This online seminar begins with a deep dive into the legal and technical framework behind some of today’s most significant farm tax issues, such as FSA program changes, OBBBA impacts, conservation easements, and federal estate tax for farms. In the afternoon, the focus shifts from concepts to implementation as you’ll work through practical tax planning approaches, explore planning considerations using real-world scenarios and worksheets, and discuss strategies that support both year-end decisions and multi-year planning. You’ll leave with a stronger understanding of not just what the rules are, but how to apply them to help farm clients make better decisions.
