If you farm for profit, you’ll report your income and expenses on Schedule F. TurboTax will guide you through entering your income and expenses, whether you use TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop.

TurboTax Online

  • Go to the farm income screen under Income in the Federal section.

  • Answer the questions about your farm. 

  • On the Tell Us About Your Farm or Farm Rental Income screen, select the I have income from operating a farm box. Select any other boxes listed if they also apply to you, then Continue.

  • When you get to the Your Farming Income and Expenses screen, you can make entries for items that apply to your farm, including 1099 payments, other farm income, expenses, assets, and miscellaneous details. 

TurboTax Desktop

  • Go to Wages & Income

  • If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on.

  • Under Business Items, select Start or Update next to Farm Income and Farm Rental.

  • On the Tell Us About Your Farm or Farm Rental Income screen, select the I have income from operating a farm box. Select any other boxes listed if they also apply to you, then Continue.
