IRS Penalty Abatement. Remove the penalties, keep the tax.
IRS penalties (late filing, late payment, accuracy-related, failure to deposit) can equal or exceed the underlying tax. Three grounds for abatement: First-Time Abatement (FTA - most reliable, used once per 3-year window), Reasonable Cause (illness, disaster, reliance on professional, unavoidable absence), or Statutory Exception. We file Form 843 or written request, document the basis, and negotiate. Often saves 20-25% of the tax + penalty bill.
How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.
A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.
Eligibility review
Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.
Land trust selection
Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.
Engineering + appraisal
Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.
Legal documentation + closing
Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.
