Ruling Makes alliantgroup the only 179D provider with U.S. Tax Court Validated Process and Methodology
Maximize Your 179D Deductions
The 179D deduction, also known as the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, incentivizes businesses implementing energy-efficient technologies. Recent legislation has expanded the scope to include projects under government, non-profits, and tribal entities and increased the maximum value to more than $5/sq ft. Yet, many firms still underclaim the benefits they are entitled to because:
- Lack of skilled resources to support new mandatory Form 7205 requirements
- Difficulty obtaining the required allocation letters from various entities
- Challenges in substantiating prevailing wage and apprenticeship documentation
We’ll help you prepare the right documentation, ensure everything is properly allocated, and maximize your deduction for no upfront fees.
