Section 179D has long been a valuable incentive for energy‑efficient building projects, but that opportunity is closing. With the deduction set to sunset for projects beginning construction after June 30, 2026, designers and building owners face a critical planning window.
In this recording, Cherry Bekaert’s tax professionals break down what the Section 179D sunset means, who may still qualify, and how to uncover missed opportunities in previously completed or partially completed projects, especially for designers working on tax‑exempt buildings. We also explore how R&D tax credits and cost segregation studies can continue to drive tax savings and support long‑term growth after Section 179D sunsets.

- Lookback opportunities for unclaimed 179D deductions
- Planning considerations before and after June 30, 2026
