What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit equal to approximately 66

percent of the taxes levied on buildings and other improvements, not including

residential property, that are located in this state and used exclusively for farming.

The credit is limited to $7,500 for an individual, entity, or married couple filing

jointly. In addition, in order to claim the credit, the claimant must have at least

$35,000 in annual gross income from farming. The person will receive a refund if the

amount of the credit exceeds the person's tax liability.

The bill also allows a taxpayer to claim the credit for 2020 online in the manner

determined by DOR rather than file a tax return to claim the credit. Claiming the

credit online for 2020 does not relieve the taxpayer of the taxpayer's obligation to

otherwise file a return for that year.
