McLaughlin & Small on Important Lessons to Be Learned from Federal Tax Cases

Our contributing editor Nancy A. McLaughlin (Utah) and Stephen J. Small (Law Office of Stephen J. Small) have posted Trying Times: Important Lessons to Be Learned from Recent Federal Tax Cases.  Here is the abstract:

This outline was prepared for a panel discussion on recent case law developments in the conservation easement donation context that took place at the Land Trust Alliance national conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, in early October 2012. The four panelists were Nancy A. McLaughlin, Robert W. Swenson Professor of Law at the University of Utah SJ Quinney College of Law; Stephen J. Small, national expert on conservation easement donation transactions and one of the principal drafters of the Treasury Regulations interpreting Internal Revenue Code § 170(h); Karin Gross, Supervisory Attorney, IRS Office of Chief Counsel; and Marc L. Caine, Senior Counsel, IRS Office of Chief Counsel.
