My question is: Canadian-specific
QUESTION: Hi there,
Our father has recently passed away Nov/03 and he has a farm in the ALR with farm status. He purchased the farm in 1973. How do we know if we entitled to the 500,000 farm exemption. I don't really know much about it any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much
BXXXX

One of my favourite tax returns.  The farm has to have been an active farm operated by your father and reported as a farm on his tax return.  If he has been renting it and reporting the income on  line 126  of his return, he does not qualify for the  $500,000 exemption. 
Glad to help you with this one.
