Question

Can losses from a farm be used to offset W2 income in the same year? Where one spouse farms FT (no other job) and the other spouse farms and collects a W2 from a "day job"?

    Yes.  If the farm is a genuine business and attempt to earn income but still operates at a loss then the loss from the farm will carry over onto your 1040 as a negative number to offset any other income that you have there.
