If youare 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 your carbon oxide sequestration credit as an elective or deemed payment under section 6417.

If you are an applicable entity with taxable income or "Unrelated business taxable income" (as defined in section 512) related to new equipment, your elective payment amount is the lesser of the amount of credit 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 credit is reduced to zero and deemed allowed to you for the tax year. . See "Credit Ordering Rule" in the Instructions for Form 3800.

If you are an applicable entity under section 6417(d)(1)(A), your election applies for your 2023 short tax year and any subsequent tax year during the 12-year period described in section 45Q(a)(3)(A) or (4)(A) with respect to such equipment. You must still satisfy all requirements under section 45Q to otherwise earn the credit in each of succeeding years.

If youare a partnership or S corporation, you may also elect to treat any credit for carbon oxide sequestration as an elective payment under section 6417(c)(1). You must file your appropriate return and attach a completed Form 8933 and a version of Form 3800, Part III, noted as IRA22DPE, to properly elect any carbon oxide sequestration credit as a payment for your short tax year.

If you make the election for payment under section 6417(d)(1)(C) or section 6417(c), you may not make the election for credit transfer under section 6418(a) for the same credit. Your election for payment for the new equipment applies for the short tax l year and the 4 subsequent tax years for such equipment (unless you revoke your election). You must still satisfy all requirements under section 45Q to otherwise earn the credit in each of the succeeding years.
