Conservation Easements Labeled Tax Scams By IRS  Conservation easement syndicates landed on the IRS\u2019 2021 \u201cDirty Dozen\u201d tax scam list. This demonstrates the attention the IRS is paying to these investments and the IRS\u2019 increased efforts to crack down on investors who benefitted from EcoVest\u2019s and other conservation easements\u2019 tax deductions.  Conservation easement investments involve bundling investors\u2019 funds into \u201csyndicates\u201d that in turn purchase conservation easements on private land. The easements are then donated at an appraised value that is substantially higher than what the syndicates paid for them.
