Woman in home office reviewing paperworkJust recently announced, farmers who file and pay taxes by April 18 will not face a tax penalty by the IRS. No special form or wording is needed, simply file and pay by the 18th while indicating to the IRS that you’re a qualifying farmer (usually by filling out Form 2210-F).
