*2.??IRS releases guidance on elective payments and transfers of certain credits under the Inflation Reduction Act*________________________________________________________________________

The IRS has issued proposed regulations and frequently asked questions [ [link removed] ] describing rules for applicable entities that earn certain clean energy credits and choose to make an elective payment election and rules for eligible taxpayers that elect to transfer certain credits to unrelated parties. For tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2022, applicable entities can choose to make an elective payment election, which will treat certain credits as a payment against their federal income tax liabilities rather than as a nonrefundable credit. This payment will first offset any tax liability of the entity and any excess will be refundable.
