Our Process
A clear path from eligibility to delivery.
Select who you are to see the incentives that may apply and how a NABiTax engagement works step by step.
Potential Incentives
Section 179D — Allocated Deduction
Designers, architects, engineers, and design-build entities may receive an allocated 179D deduction for the design of energy-efficient buildings owned by qualifying tax-exempt or governmental entities. Eligibility depends on the project, the tax year, and an allocation from the building owner.
How the engagement works
- 1
Identify Projects
We review your project history to identify buildings owned by tax-exempt or governmental entities that may support a Section 179D allocation.
- 2
Confirm Benefit to Entity
Before anything is signed, we confirm the deduction can actually be used by your firm. No entity should sign for a benefit it cannot use.
- 3
Engagement with NABiTax
We formalize scope, timing, and deliverables so everyone knows what happens next and when.
- 4
Allocation Letter Signature
We prepare the allocation letter for the building owner and coordinate signature with the authorized representative.
- 5
Energy Study and Inspection
We perform the energy modeling and the required site inspection. A physical walkthrough of the building is required in this step.
- 6
Delivery Package
You receive the full package: certification, supporting documentation, and a Form 7205 pro-forma ready for your tax preparer.
Audit hours included
Audit hours are offered with every NABiTax engagement. If a study is ever questioned, we stand behind the work we deliver.
