The Treasury Department and the IRS recently issued proposed regulations [ [link removed] ] identifying certain syndicated conservation easement (SCE) transactions as "listed transactions" ? abusive tax transactions that must be reported to the IRS. In these transactions, investors typically acquire an interest in a partnership that owns land and then claim an inflated charitable contribution deduction based on a grossly overvalued appraisal when the partnership donates a conservation easement on the land.
