مستخلص: The U.S. Tax Court recently ruled in the case of Buckelew Farm, LLC v. Comm’r, allowing a charitable contribution deduction for a land easement. The court determined that the conservation purpose did not need to be preserved indefinitely. The case involved a noncash charitable contribution deduction claimed in 2013 for a land easement granted to the Southeast Regional Land Conservancy. The court considered expert testimony to determine the value of the easement and ultimately accepted the respondent's value. The court imposed a penalty for gross misstatement of value but did not assess a penalty for civil fraud. This document explores the partnership's conservation easement and the associated tax implications, including the compliance of the appraisal report with appraisal standards.
