Clean Energy Tax Credit Scam – Did You Know?The Inflation Reduction Act 2022 made it possible for people to sell certain clean energy tax credits. In these credit transfers, both the seller and purchaser must meet strict eligibility requirements and file required paperwork with the IRS. Unfortunately, dishonest tax return preparers are actively encouraging people to ignore the rules and improperly claim purchased clean energy credits. These scammers lure people in with false claims that the credits may be used to reduce tax on a wide variety of income types.In reality, purchased credits may generally only be used to offset tax on passive activity income, which most people do not have. Regardless of what a scammer tells them, anyone who attempts to use purchased tax credits inappropriately, or claims credits they did not actually purchase, may face additional tax assessments and IRS penalties. Meanwhile, the scammer disappears with the fees they collected to file an inaccurate return on the persons behalf.A trusted tax professional can help you determine whether purchasing clean energy credits would actually reduce your tax, and if so, help you complete and file all the required forms.
