Form 5471 Filing. Controlled foreign corporations, reported right.
If you are a US person with 10%+ ownership in a foreign corporation, you likely must file Form 5471 - one of the most complex IRS forms. Filing categories range from passive ownership disclosure (Category 5) to CFC-level GILTI and Subpart F income computation (Category 1, 4, 5). Failure to file = $10,000 per form per year, with no good-cause exception in practice. We classify the filer category, compute GILTI/FDII/Subpart F, prepare Schedule M intercompany disclosure, and file with the Form 1040 or 1120.
How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.
A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.
Eligibility review
Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.
Land trust selection
Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.
Engineering + appraisal
Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.
Legal documentation + closing
Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.
