No-Risk

Our evaluations are always 100% free, and we only invoice for our green energy credit consulting services out of credits found. If we don’t find you qualify for the credits we identify, you don’t have a bill.

On-Demand

If we identify green energy credits/incentives for which you qualify, we partner with your primary accounting firm to complete the necessary studies and filings as part of your broader tax strategy.

Entrepreneurs at Heart

We love what we do because our days are filled helping innovative & entrepreneurial firms free up capital for growth via the programs that help keep our country on track for a bright future.

The Problem:

The US tax code is so broad and complex that no primary firm can stay current on all aspects, AND companies end up paying more taxes than they should when nuanced & complex credits/incentives are not attained.

EPAct 179D Energy Efficiency, Save Taxes

H.R. 1892, the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.”

On February 9, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, H.R. 1892, the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018” (the Budget Act, P.L. 115-123). In addition to providing a continuing resolution to fund the federal government through March 23, this 2-year budget contains a host of tax law changes. The Budget Act retroactively extends through 2017 more than 30 so-called “extender” provisions, provides a number of miscellaneous tax-related provisions, and includes the Code Section 179D deduction.

179D Green Energy Incentive Extended

Under Code Sec. 179D, a deduction was allowed in an amount equal to the cost of “energy efficient commercial building property” (i.e., energy efficient improvements to lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems of commercial buildings) placed in service during the tax year. The maximum deduction for any building for any tax year was the excess (if any) of the product of $1.80, and the square footage of the building, over the aggregate amount of the deduction under Code Sec. 179D for the building for all earlier tax years.

EPAct 179d Green Energy Incentives

Under pre-Budget Act law, this deduction didn’t apply to property placed in service after Dec. 31, 2016.

The Budget Act extends the deduction for one year, so that it applies to property placed in service before Jan. 1, 2018. (Code Sec. 179D(h), as amended by Budget Act Sec. 40413). Please refer to our News & Updates page for the latest on this initiative.

Founder & CEO Mike Woeber Talks CTA Culture & How We Partner with Accounting Firms to Ensure Amazing Results for Clients

“I spent 24 years in public accounting…and during that time, I saw a need for very specialized services. Things that you would think a CPA firm would do, but they are not really staffed up for or have the right personnel to do….We want our employees to do two things:

We want them to do a very defendable and solid credit incentive delivered to the client.

And we also want them to be sure the client is happy while we do it.”
