About Us

Tax Credit Connection, Inc. was founded in 2003. Ariel Steele joined Tax Credit Connection, Inc. in 2005 from Boulder County's Parks and Open Space Department, where she specialized in assisting landowners with conservation easement donations for over six years. Ariel graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 1993 and practiced law in Los Angeles, California for the firm of Latham & Watkins through 1995. In 1996, Ms. Steele moved to the Micronesian island nation of Palau, where she was legal counsel to the Palau Public Land Authority for almost two years.

New Mexico has an innovative tax program that allows the transfer of conservation income tax credits from landowners to taxpayers with New Mexico income tax liabilities. If you're interested in reducing your New Mexico income tax while encouraging the preservation of scenic lands, wildlife habitat or working farms and ranches, consider purchasing New Mexico conservation income tax credits. If you're donating either land or a conservation easement and want to receive immediate cash, consider selling your tax credits.
