The Real Estate CPA Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, we’re joined by Jim Sullivan, a land conservation expert, to discuss a lucrative tax strategy called Land Conservation Easements that can save high-income earners thousands in taxes. More real estate accounting and tax resources visit www.therealestatecpa.com/ *Important Information* While land conservation easements are currently a legal tax avoidance strategy, they have become more controversial in the recent months due to a DOJ case that names the founders of multiple providers of land conversation opportunities to stop soliciting investor funds and conducting business. In addition, we anticipate legislative changes that will impact investing in land conservation easements to be finalized in Q3 or Q4 of 2019. These changes are likely to add additional layers of complexity when planning to use this strategy. We will provide updates on these changes on this page as they come to our attention. 1. https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterjreilly/2018/12/20/crackdown-on-conservation-easement-syndications/ *Disclaimer:* The individual interviewed and/or companies mentioned in this podcast and on this page have not been vetted, nor have credentials been verified, by the podcast hosts or any partner, principal or employee at Hall CPA PLLC.
