If your 2023 tax return form is not available at the time you are required to file a return for a short tax year that begins in 2023 and ends before December 31, 2023, you must file that 2023 return using the 2022 tax return form and make all necessary modifications taking into account all tax law changes effective for tax years beginning after 2022. These supplemental instructions explain how to elect and report payment or transfer for any renewable energy production credit reported on Form 8835 under section 6417 and section 6418.

Section 6417 Elective Payment for Renewable Electricity Production Credit Reported in Form 8835, Lines 1 through 16 with respect to New Facilities

If properly elected by completing and attaching additional information to Form 3800, Part III, notated as "IRA22DPE" an "applicable entity", as described in section 6417(d)(1)(A) (generally, a tax-exempt entity) with a short year beginning after December 31, 2022 and ending before December 31, 2023 may treat the renewable electricity production credit amount with respect to a qualified facility placed in service after 2022 as a deemed payment. The credit attributable to any qualified facility or property is deemed to be allowed to the applicable entity for the short tax year. See the supplemental instructions for Form 8835, Line 20 below and the latest instructions for Form 3800, Part III, posted at IRS.gov/form3800.

Your election applies for your 2023 short tax year and any subsequent tax year during the 10-year period described in section 45(a)(2)(A)(ii) with respect to such facility. You must still satisfy all requirements under section 45 to otherwise earn the credit in each of the succeeding years.

An applicable entity as described in section 6417(d)(1)(A) includes:

  • any organization exempt from the tax imposed by subtitle A; 
  • any State or political subdivision thereof; 
  • the Tennessee Valley Authority;
  • an Indian tribal government (as defined in section 30D(g)(9));
  • any Alaska Native Corporation (as defined in section 3 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 20 1602(m)); or
  • any corporation operating on a cooperative basis which is engaged in furnishing electric energy to persons in rural areas.

If you are a section 6417(d)(1)(A) applicable entity which is required to file an annual information return, you must file a Form 990-T, "Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return" and attach and complete Form 8835 and Form 3800 to make a deemed payment election for the renewable electricity production credit with respect to a new qualified facility, even if you are not otherwise required to file Form 990-T.

If you are a section 6417(d)(1)(A) applicable entity for which no return is required under section 6011 or 6033(a), the IRS will issue future guidance concerning the appropriate time and manner for you to treat the renewable electricity production credit as a deemed payment under section 6417.

If you are an applicable entity with "Unrelated business taxable income" (as defined in section 512) in connection with the facility, your deemed payment amount is the lesser of the amount of credit with respect to the facility or any unused credit amount. The term "unused credit amount" is any amount not allowed as a general business credit against the tax imposed on your taxable income for the tax year. If elected, your current credit is reduced to zero and deemed allowed to you for the tax year. See "Credit Ordering Rule" in the Instructions for Form 3800.

Section 6418 Transfer of Renewable Electricity Production Credit Reported in Form 8835, Lines 1 through 16 with Respect to New and Existing Facilities

If properly elected by completing and attaching additional information to Form 3800, Part III, notated as "IRA22TRE", an "eligible taxpayer" defined as any entity not described in section 6417(d)(1)(A), including partnerships and S Corporations, may elect under section 6418 to transfer or sell all of its renewable electricity production credit with respect to a new or existing qualified facility (or any portion of) to an unrelated `transferee taxpayer' for cash in a 2023 short tax year. The cash payment received by the eligible taxpayer is not treated as taxable income, and the cash paid by the transferee taxpayer cannot be deducted against taxable income. If elected, your current general business credits are reduced by the amount of the transferred amount. The transferee taxpayer is treated as taxpayer with respect to such credit (or such portion thereof). Once a credit is transferred to an unrelated party, the unrelated party can't transfer it again. See the latest instructions for Form 8835, Part III, Line 20 below and the latest instructions for Form 3800, Part III.

If you are a transferee taxpayer which acquired the renewable electricity production credit with respect to a new or existing facility (or any portion of) from an eligible taxpayer, see the latest instructions for Form 3800, Part III, to take into account your acquired credit. You are not required to complete the source credit form.

The cash payment received by the eligible taxpayer is not taxable income, and the cash paid by the transferee taxpayer cannot be deducted against taxable income. If elected, your current general business credits are reduced by the transferred amount. Once a credit is transferred to an unrelated party, the unrelated party can't transfer it again.
