2026 Iowa Farm Income Tax
Webinar Date: Friday, November 20, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM (CST)

Webinar Description:
Preparing farm income taxes is a challenge in any year — and this one brings the first full filing season under the tax law changes enacted in 2025. Permanent 100% bonus depreciation, a higher Section 179 limit, the permanent qualified business income deduction, and a larger estate tax exemption all change the math on year-end decisions, machinery purchases, and long-term transition planning.

We are pleased to once again welcome Kristine Tidgren, Director of the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation at Iowa State University. Kristine will walk through what's new, what's changed, and what it means for your operation — plus practical tips and essential information to help you prepare for this year's tax season. Time will be reserved for your questions.
