Power of attorney expenses: landowner can claim deductions only if legally and financially attributable to the landowner.
Deductibility of conversion or development expenses depends on legal and financial attribution: a Power of Attorney alone does not suffice; the person who incurs and pays expenses as evidenced by bills and payments is entitled to claim deductions. If expenditures are made on behalf of the landowner and supported by a PoA deed or agreement plus reimbursement or accounting records, the landowner may claim them; otherwise the assessing officer may disallow the claim.
