Overview of the Section 179D Deduction
Section 179D of the U.S. tax code allows tax deductions for qualifying energy-efficient upgrades in commercial buildings and certain government-owned properties. As of 2023, the deduction has been updated to provide between $2.50 and $5.00 per square foot, depending on the level of energy efficiency achieved, and applies to projects that surpass specific energy-saving standards. Qualifying systems include HVAC, lighting, and the building envelope, each of which can contribute to the deduction amount if it meets the required energy reduction levels.
Qualifying for the Section 179D Tax Deduction
To secure the Section 179D deduction, projects must undergo a certification process that verifies the energy efficiency of the installed systems. As of the new guidelines, buildings must demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in energy use relative to standard requirements. The deduction amount increases with each additional percentage of energy reduction, up to a maximum of $5.00 per square foot for projects reaching a 50% reduction. Prince CPA Group can help you navigate these requirements, securing certification through licensed engineers or contractors to meet IRS standards.
