How Much

The plan gives an outline of the information that you may need to plan the economic future of the property. However, everyone’s economic and tax situation is different.

You should consider working with a tax professional to set up accounts for your land with an explanation of which values go where. A spreadsheet or a financial planning and management application is a good way to organize this information.

Each of the boxes are spreadsheet frames and can be enlarged if you have more than will fit. It is usually easier to create a separate spreadsheet for each journal or account using the examples. If you want to enlarge these entries:
