Section 179D Energy-Efficiency Deduction

The Section 179D Energy-Efficiency Deduction was implemented as a federal incentive to stimulate the U.S. economy. The deduction rewards architecture, engineering, and contracting businesses up to $1.80 per square foot for work on government owned buildings. The deduction applies to new constructions and past projects dating back to 2018. Since Section 179D was made permanent in 2021, the deduction provides ongoing tax benefits for architecture, engineering, and construction companies that work on design or installation aspects of new or renovated government-owned buildings and structures. These entities benefit by being able to claim an incentive for energy-efficient improvements to commercial and government buildings after construction is complete.

Keep in mind that while companies benefit by taking advantage of the deduction, there are rules and regulations to be aware of based on details like timing and contract terms. That’s where we come in! Here at Woodford Financial, we understand all the ins-and-outs related to 179D and we can steadily guide you to your maximum deduction.
