Joe,I'm having fun with one of the most historically stupid comments ever to be made....made by none other than Rosie O'Donnell.Truth be told, I can show you how to melt steel in a campfire through proper redirection of the wind.Tim

Hillman tried this method and won the case to the extent that it did not improve his financial position, but the tax court disallowed this income conversion method to the extent that it lowered Hillman's tax liability. http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-4th-circuit/1214577....Simply redirecting income to a different type of entity has no bearing on the economic substance of the transaction. 

The admins are pretty good about redirecting posts if you put them in the incorrect places. 

Yes I am pre-qualified, I actually almost closed on a single family home but I'm redirecting to a duplex/multi-family.

Do all of the responses redirect back to Tellus? 

If you have slop behind it, that's from where most of the water is coming into your backyard - that wall should "capture" it and redirect it on the sides, and eventually, further out along the sides of your house following the natural ground slope (see pictures below).The backyard seems flat - one way or another you'll have to find a way to slope it and move water along.Just my 2¢.

Yes, you will get the deduction on your personal return, but you cannot think this as if you redirecting the gain to HSA and avoiding the taxes.

Or re-direct me to the previous posts regarding this topic? 

Maybe you would want to look at some kind of drainage system around your house to redirect the water when it comes down.
