Sirote Wins Landmark Kiva Dunes Case

The US Tax Court issued a seminal decision in a controversy with the Internal Revenue Service concerning a taxpayer’s deduction for contributing a conservation easement to a land trust. The outcome was the result of a week-long trial, tried by Sirote Shareholders David M. Wooldridge and Ronald A. Levitt. The easement was donated by Kiva Dunes Conservation, LLC for the purpose of preserving wildlife habitat and open space vistas. The fair market value of the easement contributed was determined by the Tax Court to be almost $28.7 million. Read More
