when are farm returns due when no taxes are due
Normally, farmers and fishermen who choose not to make quarterly estimated tax payments are not subject to a penalty if they file their returns and pay the full amount of tax due by March 1. This year, the due date was pushed back to Monday, March 2, because the normal deadline falls on a Sunday. A taxpayer qualifies as a farmer or fisherman for tax year 2014 if at least two-thirds of the taxpayerâs total gross income was from farming or fishing in either 2013 or 2014.
