Straight answers

Questions farms ask

If yours is not here, call (740) 622-3347.

Do farmers pay estimated tax like everyone else?

Not always. The IRS has a special rule for farmers: if at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming, you can make one estimated payment by January 15, or skip it and file your return and pay in full by March 1. IRS Publication 225, the Farmer’s Tax Guide, explains the rule.

Can you keep the farm’s books too?

Yes. We keep books in QuickBooks or Xero monthly, or bring them current at year-end, so the farm return starts from records that tie out.

Do you work with farms outside Coshocton County?

Yes. We work in person with clients across Coshocton County and the surrounding counties — Holmes, Knox, Licking, Muskingum and Tuscarawas, and online with clients farther away.
