Summary of the operative rules, observations and practical implications
The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS on June 14, 2023, released proposed regulations on transferability and direct pay of certain energy-related federal income tax credits, as well as proposed and temporary regulations on related procedural aspects. These proposed procedural regulations apply to section 48D, as well as sections 6417 and 6418.

However, taxpayers are permitted to rely on the proposed regulations for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, provided they apply the proposed regulations in their entirety and in a consistent manner. The temporary regulations apply to tax years ending on or after their publication in the Federal Register on June 21, 2023.
