The 45L tax credit offers significant savings to builders and developers who construct energy-efficient residential properties. Prince CPA Group helps clients leverage this credit, allowing them to benefit from tax reductions for building energy-efficient homes. Understanding the eligibility and workings of the 45L energy-efficient home credit can help builders and developers maximize their tax benefits.
Eligibility for the 45L Energy Efficient Home Credit
The 45L energy tax credit is available for properties that meet specific energy efficiency standards. Builders and developers who construct or renovate single-family homes, multifamily units, or manufactured housing can claim the credit if their properties achieve a 50% improvement over standard energy use. These efficiency standards must be verified by an independent energy rater, who verifies the building meets the criteria set forth by the IRS.
How the 45L Energy Tax Credit Benefits Builders
Qualifying for the 45L energy-efficient builder tax credit can reduce a developer’s tax liability by up to $2,000 per unit, offering considerable savings on larger multifamily projects. For developments like apartments, each unit that meets the efficiency requirements is eligible for the credit, allowing savings to add up significantly for large-scale projects. By reducing tax liability, the 45L credit not only supports a builder’s financial goals but also increases the marketability of energy-efficient properties.
