Section Line Ag Turns Soil Fertility Into a Tax Filing
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A farmland tax service measures residual soil fertility and prepares a signed valuation for a CPA to use in a claimed Section 180 deduction.
Field notes
The public calculator asks for acreage, ground type, purchase year, state, optional price per acre, and tax bracket, then displays deduction, tax-savings, fee, and return-on-fee fields. The page says its study costs about $40 per acre and that purchases before 2023 may face a three-year amendment limit. Its methodology is tied to John McGillicuddy, identified as a Certified Crop Adviser with 47 years in Midwest soils; the site says he signs each valuation.
