On March 27, 2023, USDA announced it was working with the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to help borrowers understand the potential tax effect of an IRA payment. Then, on April 6, 2023, USDA began sending out letters to some FSA direct loan borrowers notifying them of changes to the way IRA payments should be reported to the IRS.

These changes announced by USDA are important and are likely to help many farmers, but can also be confusing. This Guide is intended to give a brief summary of those changes and the effects those changes are likely to have on farmers.
