Abstract

In the United States, farmers and ranchers account for one percent of GDP and utilize 40 percent of the land in the 48 contiguous states. Tax statutes can appear within any law passed by Congress. Recent tax legislation provides tax benefits for farmers and ranchers. This paper will discuss the substantive tax provisions impacting or directed at these economic enterprises that appear in four recently passed legislative acts: (1) Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017; (2) Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018; (3) Families First Coronavirus Response Act; and (4) Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020.
