asked

I had an option on 100 acres of farmland in Wisconsin since 2006. I have since sold that land and after paying off the original landowner received $355,000 in cash. Will this be treated as long or short term capital gain? Also, I own 7 acres with farm buildings. I am now repairing the buildings which needed some work. I also have some livestock. My personal income is below $20,000 (self-employed for over 25 years). I will be spending over $35,000 fixing up several buildings including the barn. Can I expense this all for 2012? Also, what else could I expense against this gain?
