US Treasury to Hold Office Hours on Direct Pay Final Rules

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released final rules on elective pay, (otherwise known as “direct pay”). Elective pay is an important mechanism in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that helps enable state, local, and Tribal governments; non-profit organizations; Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories; and other entities to take advantage of clean energy tax credits. 

The IRS is hosting upcoming office hours for direct pay applicable entities that have questions specifically about the pre-filing registration process. A schedule of those hours and links to register can be found below:
