We are pleased to announce that Steven Toscher and Michel R. Stein along with William J. Curtis (Polsinelli) will be speaking at the upcoming Strafford IRS Final Regulations for Syndicated Conservation Easements webinar, Thursday, March 27, 2025, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (PST).
This course will provide tax counsel and advisers guidance on critical tax issues concerning conservation easement transactions in light of IRS final regulations. The panel will discuss critical elements of the IRS final regulations and the impact on conservation easement transactions, address IRS assessments and audits, and offer techniques for defending conservation easement transactions.
On Oct. 8, 2024, the IRS issued final regulations for conservation easement structures and related transactions. The final regulations solidify the IRS’ continued focus on enforcement actions for syndicated conservation easements. Taxpayers, tax counsel, and advisers must identify and recognize key tax issues stemming from the final regulations in structuring these transactions and defending against IRS examination.
The final regulations provide that syndicated conservation easements are listed transactions for disclosure purposes, clarify the definition of “conservation easements” and “participants,” and categorize syndicated conservation easements and substantially similar transactions into separate classes of abusive transactions, along with other significant provisions.
The panel will discuss key elements of the IRS final regulations, structuring conservation easement transactions, and minimizing IRS assessments and audits, as well as offers techniques for defending conservation easement transactions.
