Tax incentives for conservation - which help landowners to make donations of land and easements - are essential to land trusts. But conservationists cannot take these tax incentives for granted!
The Senate Finance Committee is working on an extensive re-write of the rules for conservation donations. In addition, last January, the
Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) of the Congress
proposed a drastic cut on tax benefits for donations
of land, conservation easements, and bargain sales. Learn more.
At the same time, Congress is considering legislation that would expand federal tax deductions for conservation donations. Learn more.
If
tax deductions are important for your work, please
help us protect and strengthen these important conservation tools. Our greatest strength is local! Write
to Congress today!
