What is the
179D Deduction and How Does it Work?
179D is a federal incentive intended to stimulate the U.S. economy by rewarding architecture, engineering, and contracting businesses with up to $5.65 per square foot for their work on government owned buildings. The deduction is allowed for both new constructions and past projects going back to 2019.
Why is 179D
important for Architects?
Section 179D was made permanent in 2021 and allows Architects to claim an incentive for energy-efficient improvements to commercial and government buildings.
Who Can Claim 179D?
Architects, engineers, and design-build contractors that work on new or renovated government-owned buildings and structures, for example:
K-12 Schools
Military Bases
Prisons
Courthouses
Non-profit
Hospitals
Universities
Libraries
City Parks
Airport
Tribal Lands
