Drought-sale tax flag IRS list

A county next to Campbell County is on IRS Notice 2026-54 (Emmons County, ND, Corson County, SD, Walworth County, SD). The IRS counts your county plus every county touching it.

Why it matters: if you sold breeding, dairy or draft livestock because of drought, the tax code may let you put off the gain (more time to buy replacement animals, or report the extra-sale income a year later). Your tax preparer decides whether either applies.
