Hello everyone,

We have a higher ed client in New Jersey that is interested in learning more about the 179D tax credit and would like to speak to someone who can help answer questions and offer guidance. If you have experience that you can offer, or you can provide some contacts - ideally with higher ed experience - who would be willing to help out, I would be much appreciated. You can reach out to me on this platform or at msledge@bcj.com. Thank you in advance!

Hey Margaret, happy to help! We find ourselves in more and more of what I'll characterize as "green finance" conversations. Will send you an email to connect.

Internally, we have a goal to DOUBLE our firm's own 179D tax benefit from past years. In addition, we have been showing clients how to leverage 179D and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funds.

We had Jacob Goldman from Engineered Tax Services present to us last year on this. He was so knowledgeable. His email: JACOB.GOLDMAN@energytaxsavers.com I’m sure he’d be thrilled to talk to you. I've attached his deck (which he said was ok to share).

I agree. Jacob's presentations have been the best I have seen. I have a project that has engaged them, and it has been a great experience so far.
