New Resource: 2025 Timber Tax Tips for Foresters

Foresters working with private landowners now have an updated resource to support conversations around forest management decisions and their tax implications.

New federal legislation enacted in 2025 reinstates and makes permanent several tax provisions affecting forest landowners and introduces new incentives for capital investment. While many provisions take effect beginning in 2026, some apply to the 2025 tax year.

The 2025 Timber Tax Tips publication is designed as a practical reference foresters can use when assisting private forest landowners alongside tax professionals. It highlights key considerations that may affect management timing, investment decisions, and long-term after-tax returns.

This publication provides general information and is not financial, tax, or legal advice. Foresters and landowners should consult qualified tax advisors regarding individual situations. Information is current as of December 15, 2025.
