Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez's office said she and Rep. Thomas Massie introduced the bipartisan No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act to remove capital gains on sale or exchange of a farm between family members when land stays in agricultural production. The release says the bill would allow sale or transfer of family farms to qualified family members without the seller being subject to capital gains tax.
Assessments
Gluesenkamp Perez materially advanced a matching federal proposal in the 119th Congress by co-leading/originally cosponsoring H.R. 8591, the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act. The bill would exclude gain from sales of qualified farm property to qualified family members, matching the promised policy, but it has only been introduced and referred to House Ways and Means and has not been enacted into tax law. Because she remains in office and the bill is still pending, the promise is not delivered yet but should be treated as unresolved with serious same-term effort.
