MFB supported: H.R. 641, the Conservation Easement Incentive Act of 2015, to make permanent the enhanced tax deduction for donated conservation easements; H.R. 644 to permanently extend and expand the charitable deduction for donated food; H.R. 636, Americas Small Business Tax Relief Act of 2015, to permanently set the IRC Section 179 small business expensing maximum limit at $500,000. MFB also supported S. 860, the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015 and H.R. 1105, Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015. MFB also supported H.R. 2510, a bill that would permanently extend 50 percent bonus depreciation. The bill would be expanded to include fruit growers. Farm Bureau policy supports extending and making permanent tax tools that help farmers better manage cash flow, minimize tax liabilities and reduce borrowing needs. MFB also supported H.R. 2029, the Consolidated Appropriations Act which included the PATH Act which either made permanent or extended most of these tax provisions.
