A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax relief for farmers who realize capital gain on the transfer of farm property to satisfy an indebtedness, and for other purposes.
Farm Debt Tax Reform Act of 1991 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from gross income up to $300,000 (lifetime total) of capital gain from the transfer of property in complete or partial satisfaction of qualified farm indebtedness of a taxpayer: (1) whose modified gross income is below the national median adjusted gross income median; (2) whose gross receipts for six of the preceding ten years are at least 50 percent attributable to farming; and (3) whose equity in all property held after the transfer in question is less than the greater of $25,000 or 150 percent of income tax liability.
Applies a comparable exclusion with respect to the discharge of qualified farm indebtedness of solvent farmers who meet these requirements and whose indebtedness both before and after the relevant transfer equals at least 70 percent or more of equity.
Permits both tax exclusions retroactively with respect to taxable years 1987 and thereafter. Grants a one-year period after enactment of this Act for claims of credit or refund of overpayment of tax resulting from such Act.
