Appraisal Institute Engages IRS on Conservation Easement Case Backlog



The Appraisal Institute is working with the IRS’s newly established Office of Conservation Easements to explore ways to address the backlog of syndicated conservation easement cases pending in U.S. Tax Court. Discussions include a possible pilot program that would draw on experienced appraisers to help resolve valuation disputes. While still in the early stages, this dialogue is a positive step toward practical solutions that recognize the value of qualified appraisal professionals.
