Piedmont Breeze, LLC v. Commissioner

Posted 2022 Updated January 23, 2024
About This Legal Opinion

In this case, the IRS is asserting that written notice must be explicitly required even for relatively minor structures such as hunting blinds, viewing platforms, and fences. It remains to be seen whether this argument will prevail in the Tax Court, but cautious donors and land trusts should take note.
