RP96-11 The Farm Corporation: What It Is, How It Works, How It Is Taxed

A corporation is an artificial person that is created and operated according to state corporation statutes. It is a separate taxpayer subject to specific and detailed federal, state, and local tax laws. The advice and service of your lawyer are indispensable in organizing and operating a farm corporation. There are three basic forms of farm business organization, the sole proprietorship, the partnership, and the corporation. Variations of these forms have resulted in the limited partnership and the "tax option" corporation. These three basic forms are discussed in this research publication.

INSURANCE

We have been working with exterminators on the insurance problems for thirty-five or so years. Recently PCO’s have been doing much in the way of bird control. There does not seem to be anyone that we know of who does strictly bird control insurance, so our group always ties it in with our pest control. I feel that nothing touches everyone so regularly, with the exception of the federal government, as your insurance premiums. I would like to discuss with you the causes and results of accidents and how they can effect insurance premiums.
