Can I deduct depletion and production tax on my IRS form? Little confused here. I know the depletion can be. But what about production cost?
Calculate your depletion deduction. It is 15 percent of your gross royalties (not the net amount you receive - gross means before any taxes or production costs).
Then you also deduct whatever makes gross become net - production costs, taxes paid by producer, etc. Just make sure not to deduct any of your withholdings for state or federal taxes.
