*4.  Proposed regulations on the clean fuel production credit under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill*

________________________________________________________________________

The Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued [ [link removed] ] proposed regulations for domestic producers of clean transportation fuel to determine their eligibility for and calculate the clean fuel production credit under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. The new law made important changes to what is often referred to as the 45Z credit.

The clean fuel production credit [ [link removed] ] provides businesses an income tax credit for clean transportation fuel produced domestically after Dec. 31, 2024, and sold by Dec. 31, 2029. To claim the credit, taxpayers must be registered with the IRS using Form 637, Application for Registration (For Certain Excise Tax Activities) [ [link removed] ], at the time of production.

Treasury and IRS welcome comments and requests to speak at the public hearing on these proposed regulations. Tax professionals and others are encouraged to use the Federal e-Rulemaking portal [ [link removed] ] to submit comments (indicate “IRS” and “REG-121244-23”). A public hearing has been scheduled as described in the “Comments and Public Hearing” section of the proposed regulations [ [link removed] ].

For more information, see One, Big, Beautiful Bill Provisions [ [link removed] ] on IRS.gov.

*6.  Did you know? Submitting CAF authorizations*

________________________________________________________________________

Here are a few things tax professionals need to know when submitting Power of Attorney (POA) authorization and Tax Information Authorization (TIA) requests:


*

The quickest way to request a POA/TIA is through Tax Pro Account [ [link removed] ]. Tax Pro Account provides real-time processing. Once the client approves the request through their IRS Individual Online Account [ [link removed] ], the tax professional’s authorization will be active.


*

Submitting a POA/TIA by fax, mail or the other online option [ [link removed] ] may cause delays in processing.


*

If a tax professional already submitted a POA/TIA request, they should not submit another one. Duplicate submissions will cause further delays.


*

Check POA/TIA processing timeframe at IRS.gov/processingtimes [ [link removed] ].


*

Use Form 2848 (POA) [ [link removed] ] or Form 8821 (TIA) [ [link removed] ] to prevent common errors.

Find general information in a recent news release [ [link removed] ] and the Serve your clients [ [link removed] ] page on IRS.gov. And learn more about adding business-level CAF access [ [link removed] ].
