Surgent's The Inflation Reduction Act's Changes to Auto and Energy-Related Tax Credits

Description

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) contains many changes to auto and energy-related credits as well as new credits and old credits that have been renamed. Many if not most of these credits reduce the cost of individual- and business-related expenses. As a result of the changes brought about by the IRA, tax advisors have a full set of new and reformed credits to understand and explain to their clients.

This program covers the mechanics of all the new and revised energy-related credits clients will be asking about, such as credits related to personal autos, energy-efficient commercial vehicles, and household-related utilities and improvements. This program will cover the new IRA changes related to electric car credits in detail so that those attending can properly advise their individual and business clients. The program will also cover the transition rules applying to clean vehicles purchased after enactment.
