Chickens???

[SueBaby]

Clients has chickens and said the IRS said they could put it on their taxes???? Never put chickens and eggs on taxes before. Can I?

Saw on Sch F there is a place on the code for poultry and egg production. I thought you had to have a big chicken house and sell to a poultry co before taking that off. Not eggs either.

Any advice on such a thing? Have cows, goats, pigs, horses and other things on this Sch but NO chickens .

I reckon if they buy the chickens they can put them on depreciation but if they hatch their own chickens, no depreciation, kinda like cows?

LOL, I dunno

My sister caught a rooster at the county fair when she was about 9. We used newspaper as bedding for the cage. Never though about using a tax return for it. I suppose you could do that too.

You can depreciate purchased chickens, but the deduction is usually a poultry amount.

There was a place called the "Chicken Ranch" in LaGrange, Texas. There was a movie based on that establishment called "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."

We couild keep up the chicken humor, but we might get in trouble for using fowl language on the forum.

dog tax vs cat tax

Interesting that a google search for cat tax brings up a gaggle of references to fat cats, but not tax returns

On the other hand, there actually was a Dog Tax War - reference Wikepedia
