You owned and operated the farm.
-
Your debts were greater than the fair market value of your assets immediately before the sale.
-
The gain from the sale was included in your federal adjusted gross income on federal Form 1040.
-
You applied the sale proceeds to paying off the mortgage, contract for deed, or any liens on the property.
Note: “Farm property” includes agricultural production property, other real property, or equipment used in a farm business that you owned and operated.
How do I claim this subtraction?
