Land Prep/Land clearing in '16 for future ag use in '17(after fencing finalized). Raising livestock. Rented dozer, bought diesel,etc. Getting mixed msgs on deductibility.

Need to start showing ag use for future ag property status with state.  If we're actively improving land to use for raising/selling livestock, can we start with this '16 land clearing expense?

But cannot get TurboTax to recognize since we didn't have an actual income on the flip side, just expense.
