Important: If you’re participating in the AgriStability and AgriInvest programs, you must complete the forms related to those programs and not form T2042. That being said, H&R Block’s tax software does not currently support the AgriStability or AgriInvest programs. If these programs apply to you, click here to find the retail office closest to you. Our Tax Experts will be happy to help! (fees will apply).

If you earned farming income as a self-employed farmer or as a partner in a farming business, use form T2042: Statement of farming activities to report your income and expenses for the year. If you’re filing a Québec tax return, you’re also required to file Schedule L: Business Income in order to report your gross and net farming income (or loss). Fortunately, H&R Block’s tax software will automatically complete your Schedule L for you, based on the information entered on your T2042.

Note: You’ll need to complete a separate T2042 for each farming business you operate.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) farming income includes the income you received from any of the following activities:

• Livestock raising or showing
• Poultry raising
• Dairy farming
• Fur farming
• Tree farming and
• Fruit growing

For a complete list of recognized farming activities, refer to the CRA’s Guide on Farming Income.

Click each heading on the left-hand panel for more details on completing each page of the T2042 form. Remember to enter information in all the fields that apply to your farming business. Fields with a red asterisk (*) are required fields.

Note: Canadian residents outside of Québec will not see fields that relate to residents of Québec only. Information specific to Québec residents only is marked in the sections below with the symbol [QC].

Your farming business

• Account number: You must enter the 15-digit program account number that has been assigned to you by the CRA. You should request this identification number from the CRA before you begin any farming activities.
  
  
• Tax shelter identification number: If you have a tax shelter associated with your farm or farming activities, enter your tax shelter identification number in this field.
  
  
• [QC] Account number: You must enter the 15-digit account number that has been assigned to you by Revenu Québec. You should request this identification number from Revenu Québec before you begin any farming activities.
  
  
• [QC] What’s the ownership structure of your business?: You need to indicate if you operate your farming business as a sole-proprietorship, a partnership, or as a co-ownership.
  
  
• What accounting method do you use? You can report your farming income using the cash method or the accrual method.
  
  
• Cash method: Using the cash method of accounting means that you report income in the fiscal period you receive it and deduct expenses in the fiscal period you pay them.
• Accrual method: Using the accrual method of accounting means that you report income in the fiscal period you earn it and deduct expenses in the fiscal period you incur them.

• Industry code: You must enter an industry code that describes your main farming activity. If your farming operation involves more than one type of farming activity, and none of them represents at least 50% of your farming business, choose the combination farming code that most closely describes your farming activities. Click here for a full list of industry codes.
  
  Alternatively, in the search box on the form, enter the keywords that describe your farming activity to find the related farming code.

Your fiscal period

Typically, this is a period of 12 months, at the end of which the person carrying on the business prepares financial statements for the year. A fiscal period can’t be longer than 12 months but it can be shorter in the year you started your business or ended it.

[QC] If you’re a resident of Québec, your fiscal period end date must be December 31. However, if you’re electing to change your fiscal year end to a date other than December 31 for your federal tax return, the election will also apply to your Québec return.

Remember, the fiscal period end date for both your federal and Québec returns must be the same.

If your fiscal period doesn’t end on December 31 and you’re not ending your farming business in 2016, you’ll see the following questions:

• Did you start operating this business in 2016? Answer Yes if you started a new business or restarted an existing business.
  
  
• Do you want to change the end of your fiscal period to December 31? Generally, you have to report your business income from a business in Canada on a calendar year basis (that is, from January 1 to December 31). If you don’t want to change your fiscal year to December 31, keep in mind that if you’re a GST/HST registrant, your decision about your fiscal period end might affect your GST/HST reporting periods, as well as your filing and balance due dates. Click here to find out more.
  
  
• Enter the estimated additional income included in your business income in your 2015 return
  Use the following formula to calculate your estimated additional income:
  
  (A – B) X (C/D)
  
  Where:
  
  A = Net income for the fiscal period ending in 2016
  B = The lesser of the following two amounts:
  
  
• Portion of your business’ net income that is considered to be a taxable capital gain
• Capital gains deduction claimed in 2016

C = Number of days in 2015 during which you carried on the business included in the fiscal period ending in 2016
D = Number of days you carried on the business in the fiscal period ending in 2016

• [QC]How much of your 2016 income came from taxable capital gains? If you sold capital property that your business owned and realized a profit (capital gain), enter the profit amount here. The CRA says that if you own a business that has a fiscal year end other than December 31, you still have to report the sale of a capital property in the calendar year the sale took place.
  
  
• [QC] If you’re claiming a capital gains deduction in 2016, how much are you claiming? If you’re reporting a capital gain for certain property sold in 2016 and you qualify for the capital gains deduction, enter the amount you’re claiming for your capital gains deduction.

Do not include the valuation of inventory if you are using the accrual method for reporting your income.
  
  
• Are you claiming an inventory adjustment for this farm in 2016? – If your answer to this question is Yes, you’ll need to enter both your mandatory and optional (if applicable) inventory adjustment amounts that you’re claiming this year.
  
  
• Mandatory inventory adjustment you’re claiming for this farm for 2016 – A mandatory inventory adjustment (MIA) decreases your net loss if you held inventory at the end of your fiscal period. You’ll have to make a MIA if each of the following conditions are met:
  • you use the cash method to report your income
  • you’re reporting a net loss on form T2042
  • you purchased inventory and you still have it at the end of your 2016 fiscal period. Note that this does not just refer to inventory purchased in 2016; it includes inventory that you previously bought and still held at the end of your 2016 fiscal period.

For more information, refer to page 28 of the CRA’s Farming Income Guide.

• Optional inventory adjustment you’re claiming for this farm in 2016 – An optional inventory adjustment (OIA) allows you to include, in your income, an amount up to the fair market value of your inventory minus the mandatory inventory adjustment (MIA) (see above). Unlike the MIA, when determining your OIA, the inventory does not have to be inventory that you bought; it includes your entire inventory at the end of your 2016 fiscal period.

The following fields will only be displayed if you indicated that you were part of a partnership on the Your farming business page.

• Did you have expenses for your business partnership that weren’t reimbursed (example: you used your personal vehicle to earn income for the business)? – If your answer to this question is Yes, enter a description of the expense in the Describe your business partnership expense field and the amount you paid in the Amount paid field.

Home office expenses

• Unused expenses from a previous year – You might not have used all of your home office expenses last year to reduce your income tax payable. Your unused expenses amount can be found in the Calculating business-use-of-the-home expenses section of your last year’s T2042 form.
  
  
• Enter the total amount you paid for each expense. You'll confirm how much of these expenses were for personal use below. - You can deduct a portion of the following expenses for the business use of a workspace in your home, provided that your home is your principal place of business or you use the workspace only to earn your fishing business income on a regular and ongoing basis. 
  • Heat
  • Electricity
  • Insurance
  • Maintenance
  • Mortgage interest
  • Property taxes
  • Other home office expenses -  Specify the amount paid for the expense and percentage that was for business use

 

• For all the expenses you entered above, how much of the total amount was for personal use only (for example, the parts of your home not used to earn income for your business). Enter a percentage

To calculate the percentage, use a basis such as the area of the workspace divided by the total area of your home. Subtract this amount from 100 to obtain the percentage of your home that is for personal use only.

Let’s say for example, that you run a farming business from home.  The workspace you use for your farming business is 200 square feet and the total area of the home is 1000 square feet. Use the following formula to calculate the percentage of your home you use for business purposes.

200 square feet X 1,000 square feet     =   20% --- area used for business purposes

                     100

100% - 20% = 80% --- area of the home used for personal use only

Therefore, 80% of your home’s costs for heat, electricity, insurance, maintenance, etc. were for personal use only. Enter 80% in this field on the form.

Motor vehicle expenses

If you use a motor vehicle for business and personal use, you can deduct only the part of the expenses you paid to earn income. Farming business use includes trips to pick up parts for machinery or farming supplies, and to deliver grain. If you do not live on your farm, you cannot claim expenses incurred for travelling between your home and your farm.

The type of motor vehicle expenses you can claim include:

• Kilometres driven
• Licence and registration fees
• Fuel costs
• Insurance
• Interest on money borrowed to buy a motor vehicle
• Maintenance and repairs
• Leasing costs

You can also claim capital cost allowance (CCA) for your motor vehicle but you enter this amount on the CCA page of the form.

Tip: Remember to keep a detailed logbook of the kilometres driven for each business trip and receipts to support your claim.

Capital cost allowance

You can’t deduct the cost of property such as furniture, equipment, or a building in the year of purchase. However, as such property wears out over time, you can deduct a portion of its cost each year (generally for as long as you own the property). This deduction is called capital cost allowance (CCA). Click here to learn more on calculating and claiming CCA.

• Choose the class for your depreciable property – Enter the capital cost allowance (CCA) class number to which your property belongs. A specific rate of CCA applies to each class and will help in calculating the CCA you can claim. For example, self-propelled combines fall under Class 10 which has a CCA rate of 30%. Click here for a full list of CCA classes and their rates.
  
  
• If this isn’t the first time you’re claiming CCA, enter the undepreciated capital cist (UCC) balance at the start of 2016 – UCC is equal to the total capital cost of all the depreciable property of the class your property belongs to minus the capital cost allowance (CCA) you claimed in previous years.
  
  UCC = Total capital cost – CCA claimed in the previous years
  
  Enter the UCC for the class at the end of the last year. Skip this field if this is the first year you’re claiming CCA.
  
  
• Enter the total cost of any additions you made to this class in 2016 (include the cost to purchase depreciable properties in this class or improve existing depreciable properties in this class) - If you purchased or made improvements to depreciable property in the year, the CRA considers these to be additions to the class in which the property belongs.  For example, the purchase of a combine (Class 10) is considered an addition to the class.
  
  Add the total business part of the cost you paid to buy or improve property that belong to the same class and enter it in this field. Click Add another class, to enter the cost of additions for a different class.
  
  
• If you disposed of a depreciable property during your fiscal year – Enter the proceeds received or the original cost of the property, whichever is less. When completing form T2042, you’ll need to calculate this amount for each piece of depreciable property of the same class that you are disposing of and enter it in this field. If you disposed of a depreciable property of another class, click Add another class and repeat the process outlined above.
• Have you sold or disposed of all your assets in this class? - If your answer to this question is Yes, you might be eligible to claim a terminal loss. Click here for more information on terminal losses.

Purchase or sale of land

• Total cost of all the land you acquired in 2016 – Enter the total cost you paid to buy land in the year.
• Total amount received (proceeds) for all the land you disposed of in 2016 - Generally, this is the selling price of the land. However, it can also include payment received for expropriated, destroyed, or damaged/stolen property.

Purchase or sale of a quota

• Total cost of all quotas you acquired in 2016 – Quotas - like milk and egg quotas – are property that you can purchase that doesn’t exist, at least in the physical sense. This kind of property is considered to be eligible capital property. Amount paid for this type of property can be claimed as an eligible capital expenditure.
• Total amount received (proceeds) for all quotas you disposed of in 2016 – Enter the amount received from the sale of all quotas in 2016.
