Could you please clarify, for tax purposes, if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) views my farming operation as a hobby farm or a full-fledged business venture? I'm concerned about the tax implications and want to ensure I'm accurately reporting my income and expenses. Is there a specific criteria or guidelines the IRS uses to determine the classification? It's crucial for me to understand this distinction to avoid any misunderstandings or potential penalties.

Conversely, if an activity is pursued primarily for personal enjoyment or recreation, it is more likely to be classified as a hobby.
