H.R. 2807
Conservation Easement Incentive Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on May 29, 2014
H.R. 2807 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to reinstate and make permanent
specified rules that increased the amount of income tax deductions allowed for taxpayers
making certain charitable contributions of real property for conservation purposes. The
rules, which expired on December 31, 2013, increased certain income-based limits on the
amount of such conservation contributions that an individual or qualified corporate farmer
or rancher could deduct in a year, and extended the number of years over which such
contributions above the limits could be carried forward and deducted.
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 2807
would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal budget deficits, by about $1.1 billion over
the 2014-2024 period.
The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 2807
would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2014. The estimated increases in
the deficit are shown in the following table.
JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Timmerhoff. The estimate was approved
by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
