Description:
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) has transformed energy-efficient tax incentives for commercial real estate. The IRA will alter and amplify both the 179D Deduction and the Section 45L Tax Credit. In this all-new webinar, we will compare the current version of each incentive to the “IRA Version” of the incentive, addressing changes to reference standards, calculation of incentives, documentation procedures, and more. New exciting initiatives including utility sales tax recovery, C-PACE, and more will also be discussed. Numerous real-life case studies will be reviewed, and a variety of reference tables will be provided.

Learning Objectives:
• Compare the requirements for claiming the 179D deduction under both the old and new laws
• Understand how the 179D deduction is calculated under the Legacy Program and under the IRA
• Recognize other changes to 179D under the IRA, including the elimination of partial deductions and theestablishment of deduction reset
• Compare the requirements for claiming the 45L Tax Credit under both the old and new laws, and theassociated differences for single-family and multifamily dwelling units
• Become familiar with solar energy incentives, the benchmarking process, and C-PACE
• Learn about NYC’s Carbon Emissions Bill, and recognize potential implications in New York and beyond

Top 10 Must Knows Before Diving Into Tax Year 2022

10. 179 Expensing May Play a Larger Role in 2023 and Beyond:

With 100% bonus rates set to phase down starting in 2023 (see #3 below), Section 179 Expensing may step up. With a larger deduction of $1.08M for TY 2022, and the ability to immediately expense the full cost of an asset, Section 179 Expensing may soon carry more weight in a comprehensive tax plan. There are several nuances to be aware of – including potential state-specific limitations – but we anticipate more strategic bonus/179 Expensing interplay moving forward.

9. New Audit Technique Guideline (ATG) Points Focus in New Directions:

In June of this year the IRS released an updated version of the Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guideline for the first time since 2017. By examining the ATG, taxpayers can anticipate what Examiners will focus on in the unlikely event of an audit. The 2022 update points out two new areas of focus – the importance of identifying land values is stressed, and an entire new chapter is added on electrical distribution systems.

8. Rise of the Non-Profit Tenant:

We’re seeing many retail and office buildings bringing non-profit or government tenants into their properties. This trend may have a huge impact on the way depreciation rules are applied in those properties. The good news is that – depending on circumstances – the taxpayer might not be locked into ADS class lives. This topic is very nuanced, so we covered it in both a feature article and an episode of our podcast, Capstan Live!
