Two Timber Tax Workshops to be Offered in Southwest Virginia
The severe weather events of 2011 may have forest landowners thinking about timber taxes. A forest casualty loss from tornado or other storm-damaged timber may offset tax liability from other, non-timber related income.
Forest landowners, CPAs and foresters interested in learning more about forest casualty losses or the tax treatment of forestland should attend one of two timber tax workshops in Southwest Virginia next month. Click the link below for more information -

Timber Tax Filing Information for 2011
Those who suffered damage in the spring tornados in 2011 should be able to take advantage of the casualty loss deduction. The casualty loss deduction can also be applied to damage to landscape trees around homes. CPA’s or tax preparers probably do not know much, if anything about this subject. Here are a couple of documents that give some information on timber taxes and the casualty loss tax deduction.
Also, here is a web page that contains plenty of information on timber taxes - http://www.timbertax.org/
