Expenses
Conservation expenses
If you enter a positive amount of conservation expenses, the deduction on Schedule F is limited to 25 percent of the gross farm income. A Schedule M-1 or Schedule M-3 reconciling amount generates for the nondeductible portion. If you enter a negative number, the application converts the number to a positive number for Schedule F, does not limit the deduction based on income, and does not create a Schedule M-1 or Schedule M-3 reconciling adjustment.
