We are also supportive of extending certain temporary tax provisions and maintaining the like-kind exchange provision in the Internal Revenue Code.

The tax was included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which Farm Bureau opposed. The organization supports S.183/H.R.928. Death Tax Repeal Act (S.860/H.R.1155): Legislation that would amend the Internal Revenue Code to repeal estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

Remote sellers with less than $1 million annual sales are excluded; those who are above the threshold would be provided software for collecting the tax. The organization supports fair competition between local and main street retailers and internet-only sellers. The House companion bill is H.R.2775, the Remote Transactions Parity Act. Farm Equipment Depreciation (S.2202/H.R.4474): Legislation to permanently reinstate five-year depreciation for farm equipment. The organization supports this change since agriculture is an equipment-heavy industry. The Protect Family Farms and Businesses Act (H.R.6100/S.3436): Legislation to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from finalizing and implementing its proposed regulations on liquidation of an interest with respect to estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The organization opposes the rulemaking because it would make it more difficult for farmers and ranchers who operate family-owned partnerships, LLCs or corporations to transfer their farms and ranches to the next generation. Comments were filed during the public comment period. Biodiesel Tax Incentive Reform and Extension Act of 2016 (H.R.5240): Legislation that would extend the $1-per-gallon tax credit for biodiesel through the end of 2019 and reform the credit from a blenders credit to a producers credit for fuel using U.S. commodities.

Marketplace Fairness Act of 2015 (S.698): Legislation that would allow each member state under the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement to require all sellers not qualifying for a small-seller exception to collect and remit sales and use taxes with respect to internet sales. Remote sellers with less than $1 million annual sales are excluded; those who are above the threshold would be provided software for collecting the tax. The organization supports fair competition between local and main street retailers and internet-only sellers. The House companion bill is H.R.2775, the Remote Transactions Parity Act. Farm Equipment Depreciation (S.2202/H.R.4474): Legislation to permanently reinstate five-year depreciation for farm equipment. The organization supports this change since agriculture is an equipment-heavy industry. The Protect Family Farms and Businesses Act (H.R.6100/S.3436): Legislation to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from finalizing and implementing its proposed regulations on liquidation of an interest with respect to estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The organization opposes the rulemaking because it would make it more difficult for farmers and ranchers who operate family-owned partnerships, LLCs or corporations to transfer their farms and ranches to the next generation. Comments were filed during the public comment period. Biodiesel Tax Incentive Reform and Extension Act of 2016 (H.R.5240): Legislation that would extend the $1-per-gallon tax credit for biodiesel through the end of 2019 and reform the credit from a blenders credit to a producers credit for fuel using U.S. commodities. The organization supports the bill.
