Are there perfectly reusable furnishings, appliances, desks, computers, cubicles, or cabinetry slated to be discarded now or in the future?

Our CEO Jessica I. Marschall, CPA, ISA AM recently attended the Appraisers Association of America annual conference in Manhattan.
IRS Counsel and presenters included Karin Gross, Meredith Meuwly, and Cynthia Herbert and provided critical feedback on the appraisal process.
The market for buying used building materials can vary depending on your location, but there are several common options to consider:
The Green Mission Inc. has strengthened its deconstruction appraisal protocol, responding to recent tax-deduction cases by enhancing IRS- and USPAP-compliant documentation, valuation support, and more rigorous standards for developing preliminary estimated value ranges.
The IRS has recently announced that they will be concentrating staffing efforts towards High Net Worth (HNW) and pass-through entities. Individuals usually taking non-cash charitable donations are often HNW. It is critical that our clients and their CPAs and tax advisors understand the risks and the requirements for an IRS Qualified Appraisal produced by an IRS Qualified Appraiser.
Historic preservation and deconstruction go hand-in-hand. Our CEO Jessica I. Marschall, CPA, ISA AM, recently joined the Minnesota-based Rethos Board of Directors. With her background in tax and deconstruction tax deductions, she hopes to assist in educating others about the distinctions between historic preservation versus deconstruction and encouraging the responsible and thoughtful approach to handling historic structures and materials.

Deconstruction is the careful dismantling of a structure with the intent to salvage and reuse the materials and property. Valuable property is kept out of the landfill reducing the construction industry’s carbon footprint and property can be reused and repurposed by providing affordably priced materials.
26 USC Section 170 is law. Ensuring a client hires a Qualified Appraiser to produce a Qualified Appraisal is law. USPAP is more critical than ever. As of 2019, all appraisers must follow the substance and principles of USPAP. See below for more regarding USPAP.
