If properly elected by completing and attaching additional information to a version of Form 3800, Part III, noted as "IRA22DPE", an "applicable entity", as described in section 6417(d)(1)(A) (generally, a tax-exempt entity) with a short tax year beginning after December 31, 2022 and ending before December 31, 2023, may treat the energy credit amount reported in Form 3468, Part III, lines 12a–12c, 12e, 12f, 12h, 12i, 12k, 12l, 12q, 12r, 12t, 12u, 12w, 12y, 12z, 12bb, and lines 1-8 for "Line 12hh Worksheet" (if any), as an elective or deemed payment of taxes under section 6417. The credit for a qualified facility or property is deemed to be allowed to the applicable entity for short tax year.

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 energy credit as an elective or deemed payment under section 6417.

If you are an applicable entity with "Unrelated business taxable income" (as defined in section 512) related to the facility, your elective payment amount is the lesser of the amount of credit with respect to the facility or any unused credit amount.

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.

Once a credit is transferred to an unrelated party, the unrelated party can't transfer it again.
