 The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created game-changing opportunities for many projects to capitalize on the largest energy investment in U.S. history through tax credits. Complying with prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PW&A) under the IRA can significantly enhance credit value by five times — therefore, many project owners are asking contractors to comply.

It took nearly two years for the PW&A requirement final rule, which left many contractors in a state of flux as project owners are pushing penalties and/or losses of credit to contractors. Yet, this is also a perfect opportunity to take advantage of $270 billion worth of tax credits and incentives in the longest-running U.S. energy policy.

Unfortunately, being “in accordance with” Davis-Bacon, but not a covered act, has created significant confusion for both credit seekers and contractors. This is an issue of tax credit compliance for the IRS, and there are recordkeeping requirements for an extended period of time.

This webinar reviews the fundamentals of the IRA base and adder credits, including domestic content, energy community, and prevailing wage, and uncovers the final PW&A rule, explains recordkeeping, and provides recommendations on how contractors can help their projects comply.

After this session, attendees will be able to:

• Recognize the significance of the IRA in creating opportunities for energy projects through tax credits.
• Understand the compliance requirements of the IRA prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PW&A) final rule.
• Acknowledge the IRS’s recordkeeping requirements related to tax credit compliance and maintaining records to defend under IRS audit.
