Section 179D Sunset: Planning Considerations for Architects and Engineers

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.

Section 179D Sunset: Planning Considerations for Architects and Engineers -  Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at  1 – 2 P.M. ET

In this webinar, 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’ll 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.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding the Section 179D sunset and remaining qualification timelines
• Lookback opportunities for unclaimed 179D deductions
• Planning considerations before and after June 30, 2026
• Transitioning from 179D to R&D tax credits and cost segregation strategies
• Aligning tax incentives with future construction, renovation and innovation efforts  

Who Should Attend:

This program is designed for architecture and engineering firms to understand how to transition from expiring incentives to ongoing tax strategies that support investment, innovation and cash‑flow optimization.
