"The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value." — Theodore Roosevelt, Osawatomie, Kansas, August 31, 1910
If you invested in a conservation easement or land donation program and have received a tax notice from past years, we might be able to help.
Despite Congress creating incentives to conserve land in 1976, 2006, 2015, and 2022 through the SECURE Act, the IRS has mounted a decade-long attack on taxpayers who leveraged these incentives through investment partnerships.
Introduction to NaturalVC
Understanding Your Situation
Members and partners in these partnerships are being assessed tax on conservation-related deductions that are being eliminated and are receiving substantial tax due notices from previous years.
Many partnerships have agreed to settle long-running tax disputes with the IRS instead of facing ongoing costs and exceedingly expensive Tax Court litigation where positive outcomes are rare for all types of disputes.
In addition to the tax, a penalty is added. Both of which accrue interest from April of the year the tax is now owed.
Although it's possible to pursue this on your own, the process is layered with complexities that can easily become overwhelming. As you'll see in the Taxpayer Roadmap from the IRS, the path is anything but simple.
We see a reasonable chance of a better outcome than the partnership settlements for individuals. We've built online tools and materials with a human-staffed support team to give you the best chance at relief.
While the partnership's options are exhausted, you as an individual taxpayer retain access to IRS administrative procedures.
Challenge penalties, request interest abatement, and potentially reduce your personal tax assessment.
The IRS must still properly assess and collect from you personally—numerous ordinary procedures remain available.
