I put $70,000 worth of tile & grass waterways on a farm that my wife owns in Ohio. One of those goverment programs where the gov pays 90% of the cost. Now my accountant tells me that this is a Capital Expense & needs to be spread over several years deduction. I am telling him NO it is not a Capital Expense & that it should all be taken off on taxes the year it was done. The Gov paid me 70k I paid the contractor 70k. It is a wash. I have farms in Iowa & have installed terraces on similar Gov programs & my accountant has taken the deduction all in one year. I have talked to the ASCS office & they can't give me any rock solid paper work saying YAY or Nay. Where can I look to find paper work clearly stating that it can or can not be deducted all in one year. Help me Please. & Please no comments about go get a differant accountant. Thanks Gerald
