Farmwork deduction refers to expenses incurred in the course of operating a farm, such as the cost of seeds, fertilizers, equipment, and labor. These expenses are deductible from the farm's income to determine the taxable income.
Capital deduction, on the other hand, refers to the depreciation of capital assets used in the farm operation, such as buildings, machinery, and vehicles. This deduction allows the farmer to recover the cost of these assets over time as they are used in the business. The depreciation expense is deducted from the farm's income to determine the taxable income.
