Tax Credit Registration Services

Monetizing renewable energy tax credits available through the Inflation Reduction Act, either as a transferable credit or via direct pay, involves a complex registration process that may prove overwhelming, time-consuming, and labor-intensive—especially for not-for-profit entities unfamiliar with tax-filing procedures.

The process hinges on applying for and receiving a project registration number after a project is placed in service but before filing the associated tax returns. Missing any critical details can result in a significant loss of federal funds.

Align your submission process and objectives to a timeline that facilitates realizing the applicable credit without overburdening your staff or missing critical deadlines.

Discover how our professionals can help bring these tax credit funds to your balance sheet.

Overcome Challenges and Claim the Credit

Whether you’re a for-profit entity familiar with buying and selling tax credits or a not-for-profit organization looking to leverage federal renewable energy tax credits, accessing professional support during the tax credit registration process can accelerate the application submission as well as support process accuracy.

Realize Tax Credit Dollars

Increase your organization’s ability to capture applicable tax credits by successfully applying for and receiving project registration numbers on the first try. Credits must be taken in the current tax year a project is placed in service. Completing the application accurately directly impacts receipt of federal funds as you’ll lose the opportunity should you miss the designated timeframe. 

Leverage All Applicable Tax Credits

Enhance your refund by identifying all the renewable energy tax credits applicable to your organization’s projects, including the 45Q, 45V, and 45X credits, and correctly incorporating them into your project registration application.

Meet Timeline Restrictions

Facilitate a successful refund or transfer by adhering to a carefully crafted timeline that allows you to receive your project registration numbers from the IRS before your or your buyer’s tax filing deadline. Registration numbers can’t be retroactively added to amended returns so getting the application timing right is critical to claiming and receiving the tax credits.

Lower Associated Costs

Save time and reduce labor costs by navigating the registration submission process with insights and guidance from professionals experienced with creating successful application packages. 

Master Multi-Entity and Multi-Project Scenarios

Increase refund potential and overcome multi-entity or multi-project registration challenges with a cohesive strategy that evaluates and identifies the reporting entity hierarchy for your situation while matching projects with tax credits for a positive outcome.

Support Throughout the Application Process

Our professionals can prepare the registration, including necessary documents and more on your behalf.
