12 Ohio House Bill 49 p. 431 Ohio Biennial Budget Bill Included language to make certain changes to the Current Ag Use Valuation (CAUV) program The Tax Commissioner is required to assume that the holding period for agricultural land is twenty-five years for computing buildup of equity or appreciation with respect to that land. This effectively raises the calculated capitalization rate in the formula which effectively lowers the calculated CAUV value Land enrolled in CRP will be valued at the lowest soil productivity level (recoupment is possible if land is taken out of CRP)
13 Ohio House Bill 49 p. 431 Counties undergoing reappraisal or triennial update in 2017 will see their CAUV values decline by an average of ~31% (taxes due in 2018) This does not necessarily mean that property taxes on these parcels will decline by this amount

38 Rental Property
39 Fixed Cash Lease p. 418 The cash tenant pays the landlord a fixed amount, usually part in advance, for the use of farm real estate and receives all of the resulting production. The tenant pays all costs of production and thus assumes all production risks (drought, insect, hail, etc.) and all price risks.
40
41 Indexed Cash Lease NIB A lease that is indexed to a pre-determined parameter Lease amount changes each year based on the parameter change Possible parameters: NASS Ohio Average Cash Rental Rate % Change, AEDE Survey Rental Rate % Change
42 Tax Implications - Landlord pp Reported on Schedule E No SE tax as no material participation Not a trade/business so: No Section 179 expense No soil & water conservation expense No farm income averaging No qualification for estimated taxes
43 Tax Implications - Landlord pp Schedule E Can deduct ordinary and necessary expense (taxes, interest, repairs, insurance, mgmt fees). Cash rent of farmland net income nonpassive (loss is passive) See Example 11.19
44 Other Tax Notes- Cash Lease p. 420 Net Investment Income Tax For higher income earners - cash rental may be subject to 3.8% NIIT Cash Rent Tenant Line 24b Prepaid: Deduct if benefit not > earlier of mos > TP first realizes benefit/rights 2. End of tax year following year of payment
45 Flexible Cash Leases
46 Flexible Cash Lease Pp A flexible-cash lease will allow landowners to share some of these risks without becoming subject to selfemployment taxes. And, like a fixed-cash lease, the tenant doesn't have to keep track of the landowner's share of expenses. Nor does the landowner have to make grain marketing decisions or other management decisions.
47 Rental Property - Flex Lease pp Two basic forms: 1. Cash lease with a bonus Base rent Additional rent paid if revenue exceeds benchmark revenue 2. Percent of gross income lease Base rent Additional rent if agreed upon % of gross revenue exceeds the base Paid in cash, not crop share Same tax consequences as cash rent lease
48 Crop Share Lease Landlord rents land in exchange for share of crop. Need information on how landowner participates in the farming activity. The share of the crop is determined by each party s contributions to the business.

Regular decision making affecting success 3. Works 100 hours over 5 weeks or more 4. Materially/significantly involved/production
51 Crop Share Lease - Landlord pp Unlike cash rent landlords, crop share landlords may be eligible for tax provisions that typically apply to only farmers, even if the landlord does not materially participate. Section 179 Soil & Water Expenses Farm Income Averaging Estimated Tax Payments Passive Loss Rules
52 Rental Property - Leasing Personal Property - Machinery p. 423 Self-Employment Tax (on Sch C) if 1. Not leased with real property and 2. Rental activity is a trade or business Primary purpose is income or profit Tax payer continuously/regularly involved Ex Randy Rogers retires and rents entire equipment line on a 5 year leasing arrangement
53 Rental Property - Leasing Personal Property - Machinery p. 423 If sporadic, not Trade or Business, can be reported as other income on line 21 on 1040 (expenses included on line 36)
54 Demolition of Structures
55 Demolition of Structures I.R.C. 280B pp No deduction allowed for cost of demolishing buildings no deductible loss Costs and losses added to land basis If purchases, uses & depreciates, then demolishes, remaining basis into land
56 Demolition of Structures p. 426 Polly Ester (Example 11.26) Purchased land & tears down buildings. Has to allocate $5,000 to basis. Does this happen?
