All About Sustainable Savings

In this online engagement event, Laura Steinbrink chats with our expert guests from ICS Tax, LLC - Alex Bagne, Jason Puffenbarger, and Noe Montalvo to talk about how projects can maximize savings from 179D and 45L - two federal tax strategies aimed at supporting sustainable buildings.

Savings potential for:

  • Commercial buildings: Up to $5k per SF, covering major renovation and new construction 
  • Residential buildings: $5k per unit, applies to single- and multi-family, major renovation and new construction

We'll walk through recent changes to 179D and 45L, and talk about best practices and how to start so you can capture incentives on your tax return.​
