Recent developments across the three branches of government address the tax treatment of syndicated conservation easement transactions.

The Treasury and IRS then issued modified guidance in the form of proposed regulations, addressing the notice and comment deficiencies cited by the court. Finally, Congress enacted legislation separately addressing issues presented by these transactions.
