Great news! Congress has renewed the federal tax break on donation of land. In fact, they have even extended the provisions that allow a carry-forward of deductions. Now a non-farmer can deduct up to 50% of their Adjusted Gross Income per year, and farmers 100%! Both can carry-forward for up to 15 years! This is awesome news for open space advocates across the country.
