SB1575

Missouri SB1575 modifies capital gains tax provisions, including adjustments for farmland sales and leases to beginning farmers.

Missouri SB1575 modifies capital gains tax provisions by introducing new rules for farmland transactions. It allows farm owners to subtract certain capital gains from their Missouri adjusted gross income when selling or leasing farmland to beginning farmers. A beginning farmer is defined as someone with limited farming experience and approved for specific USDA loans. The bill also sets limits on the amount of cash rent income that can be subtracted per tax year. Additionally, it mandates the Department of Agriculture to verify beginning farmer status and provides a process for certification.
