IRA and CHIPS enable taxpayers to take advantage of certain manufacturing investment, clean energy investment and production tax credits through elective pay or transfer provisions. A taxpayer who intends to make an elective payment or credit transfer election must complete the pre-file registration process to receive a registration number. The registration number must be included on the taxpayer’s annual return as part of making a valid election. To pre-file, use the IRA/CHIPS Prefiling Registration tool. #IdeaoftheDay
