The inflation reduction act was signed into law by the president. The goal is to lower inflation by lowering the costs for health, raising funding for the IRS, and funding decarbonization efforts through energy and climate projects. According to President Biden, the climate portion of the bill will provide $369 billion in funds to reduce climate change and kick start an era of affordable clean energy in America. Direct payments will not be the sole source of tax credits. There are tax credits in the IRA.
MarketBeat.com - MarketBeat The IRA predicts that the U.S. deficit will be reduced by over $300 billion. The $737 billion it expects to raise is broken down into: $222 billion from 15% corporate minimum tax, $265 billion in prescription drug pricing reform, $124 billion in IRS tax enforcement, and $54 billion in loss limitation extension. The law seeks $437 billion in total investments, of which $369 billion is for energy security and climate change. It expects to save money on energy bills. More than $60 billion is expected to create millions of clean manufacturing jobs in the United States. The goal is to cut U.S. emissions in half by the year 2030. It wants to increase the number of solar panels, wind turbines, and grid scaled battery plants to more than 40 million people. Up to 100,000 asthma attacks are expected to be prevented by reducing fossil fuel pollution.
The consumer home energy rebates are included in the IRA. Tax credits can be claimed for the installation of solar energy panels and systems. It provides a $4,000 consumer tax credit for the purchase used electric vehicles (EVs) and a $7,500 tax credit to buy new EVs. Middle and lower income households are included. There are tax breaks for the installation of electric vehicles. The original Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit expired at the end of 2021. The credit is equal to 30% of the costs for eligible home improvements. It will also be expanded to other items. The roof and air circulation fans are not covered anymore. The lifetime limit on the tax credit will be replaced with a yearly limit.
The IRA invests $30 billion in tax credits to make clean energy products. There are $10 billion in tax credits for the construction of clean technology manufacturing facilities. It allocates $20 billion for rural communities to conserve forests. It wants to protect over two million acres of national forests.
Technology neutral investment tax credits will be launched by the IRA and will expand the scope of investing in renewable energy technologies. The investment must be linked to a project that deploys solar, wind, or a small list of approved renewable energy technologies. It can be difficult to demonstrate the integration of an approved renewable energy source for a project. The new ITC won't require specific technologies, but it will generate zero emissions. A wide range of zero-emission investments can be made, including battery technology, hydrogen, carbon sequestration, and new technologies that have yet to be discovered. ITCs are not allowed to invest in power transmission technology. With all the energy expected to be generated, a new transmission infrastructure is needed to distribute the power.
