Couple of tax questions for a newbie, this is our 3rd year on a farm, it's only 60 acres but about 58 of it is accessible to cattle.
They have a form at Rural King that is a tax exempt form I guess. Everything I buy there is for the farm. Is this asking for trouble as far as the IRS, or is it a standard thing? I don't have a tax I.D.# but it doesn't ask for one either. Anything I purchase that would be for personal use I would do separately.
Also, on our taxes, I have tons of receipts for cattle vaccinations, gates, farm stuff in general, but i am wondering if I can claim stuff like dogfood for our farm dogs as well as their vaccinations? This may be a dumb question, but we would not have any cats or dogs if it were not for the farm, although the barn cats probably do more work in actuality.
These are just oddball things I wonder about, like boots/clothes that I purchase for the farm? I'm new to this, our taxes were always super easy in the past. Thanks
