Tax time is 24 days past - if you are a farmer. Have to have it completed by March 1st.
You must just have some 1099's, and so you could flat-tax that?
Now, let's say a farmer grosses 600 an acre, but has to pay 200 for rent, and 35 for seed, and... Well anyhow, you'd have to get to everyone's _net_ income, so - still a lot of paperwork.
