Bill information

Summary

To provide an election to resolve certain open partnership controversies involving donations of conservation easements.

Plain-language summary

This bill creates a way to resolve disputes between taxpayers and the IRS over donations of conservation easements—legal agreements that limit how land can be developed. Conservation easements are donated to qualify for tax deductions, but the IRS has challenged some of these donations as inflated or improper. The bill would let taxpayers make an election, meaning they can choose to settle these disputes through a specific process. The bill is currently introduced, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for review.
