Zorn Island Investments LLC Conservation Easement Investment

Are you concerned about your investment in Zorn Island Investments LLC? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you.

The White Law Group is investigating potential claims against broker dealers or sales agents selling conservation easements (tax shelter land deals) to unsuspecting investors.

These syndicated conservation easements are sold through both independent broker-dealers and directly by attorneys and CPAs who create the syndications, according to industry observers.

Zorn Island Investments LLC filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2015. The total offering amount was $3,762,000 and the sales commissions and fees were estimated to be more than 15% of the offering amount, according to the SEC filing.

Syndicated conservation easements are private placements that promise tax deductions possibly worth four to four-and-a-half times a person’s investment. That means an investor could hypothetically turn a $100,000 investment into $400,000 or more of tax deductions.

The IRS has seen abuses of this tax provision and it is currently investigating taxpayers who are using questionable appraisals, and taking inappropriately large deductions for easements. Investors who received charitable contribution deductions of more than 2.5 times their investment will possibly be audited, and hit with a revised tax bill.
