I received a CP14 notice stating I owe taxes for my 2018 return, which I didn't expect due to the Earned Income Credit (EIC). I followed the instructions to have the IRS calculate the EIC, but they didn't address it in their notice, only acknowledging my income and adding penalties and interest. What should I do to resolve this issue and avoid further penalties?

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?
