How IRA Section 6418 Transfers Work

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced Section 6418, allowing clean energy project developers to transfer their tax credits directly to corporate buyers. This creates a win-win: developers get immediate liquidity while buyers reduce their federal tax liability at a discount.

Direct Cash Payment

Pay the developer directly for credits. No complex partnership structures or ongoing obligations required.

Dollar-for-Dollar Reduction

Credits reduce your federal tax liability dollar-for-dollar, not as a deduction. Immediate bottom-line impact.

Single Tax Year Claim

Credits are claimed in the year of transfer. Clean accounting with no multi-year commitment or tracking.

IRS Registration Required

All transfers must be registered with the IRS. We handle the documentation and compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any entity with federal income tax liability can purchase transferable tax credits under Section 6418. This includes C-corporations, partnerships, S-corporations, and individuals. The buyer must have sufficient tax liability in the year of transfer to utilize the credits, as unused credits cannot be carried forward by the buyer.
Recapture occurs if a project is disposed of or ceases to qualify within 5 years of being placed in service. The buyer is responsible for recaptured credits. We mitigate this through: (1) seller indemnification agreements, (2) tax credit insurance policies, and (3) thorough project due diligence. Most transactions include insurance covering 100% of recapture exposure.
The seller must register with the IRS and obtain a registration number before the transfer can occur. The IRS then issues a transfer election statement that both parties attach to their tax returns. We coordinate this entire process, providing pre-filled forms and tracking registration status. The registration must be completed within the seller's tax year of the transfer.
Tax credits typically trade at 90-95 cents on the dollar. Pricing depends on project risk profile, credit type (ITC vs PTC), seller credit quality, documentation completeness, and timing relative to tax deadlines. Larger transactions and repeat buyers often receive preferred pricing. This discount represents your immediate ROI on the purchase.
No, credits can only be transferred and claimed in the tax year the project was placed in service (for ITC) or the year the electricity was generated (for PTC). However, you can purchase credits year-round for projects placed in service during the current tax year. Planning ahead allows you to secure credits before year-end demand peaks.
Your tax counsel should review: credit eligibility and transfer validity opinions, IRS registration requirements, and indemnification terms. Your accounting team should confirm the proper treatment as an asset purchase. We provide a complete due diligence package including independent tax opinions, insurance certificates, and project documentation for your advisors' review.
ITCs are one-time credits based on project cost, while PTCs are annual credits based on actual electricity production over 10 years. PTC transfers must occur annually as production is generated. Buyers can commit to multi-year PTC purchases with pricing locked in, or purchase single-year tranches. PTCs offer predictable annual tax reduction but require ongoing transfers.
Unlike sellers, buyers cannot carry forward unused transferred credits to future years. If your tax liability decreases unexpectedly, excess credits are lost. We recommend conservative sizing based on minimum expected liability and quarterly estimated payments. Some buyers split purchases across multiple projects to manage timing risk.
