About the Course
Introduction
This CLE/CPE webinar will provide tax professionals an in-depth analysis of key components of Section 45X tax credits, the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and key considerations for manufacturers and contract manufacturers. The panel will discuss the 45X advanced manufacturing production credit and recent regulations. The panel will also discuss strategies to monetize Section 45X credits.
Description
Manufacturers are eligible for tax credits aimed at supporting manufacturing under IRC Section 45X. Recently, the IRS issued proposed regulations for claiming the Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit for producing specific components within the United States. Tax professionals must understand key provisions of the recent guidance, the interplay between 45X MPTC with other credits, and key considerations when determining which tax credit to utilize for manufacturers in light of the recent guidance.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 established 45X MPTC and the "direct pay" option for tax credits under certain circumstances, the tax credit transfer regime, and other key items. The 45X MPTC provides tax credits for each eligible component domestically produced. However, projects cannot claim both the 45X MPTC and 48C credit, making the determination of which should be used a critical component to financing a project.
The OBBBA maintained the 45X MPTC but added certain guardrails for the phase out for most eligible components, material assistance from specified foreign entities, an enhanced "integrated component rule," and key changes.
Listen as our panel discusses eligibility under Section 45X, requirements under the OBBBA, and other key items in determining the use of the Section 45X tax credit.
