More IRS Office Hours Available!

By Rosana Francescato, lead writer and analyst, CollectiveSun | February 13, 2025

There’s been a lot of concern lately about whether the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its direct pay provision, key legislation for nonprofits going solar, will remain in place. While we don’t know what will happen, the IRA has broad bipartisan support, and clean energy is more popular than ever. If you’re concerned about the future of the IRA, the best thing you can do is start your nonprofit solar project now, while the legislation is still available to significantly lower your costs. CollectiveSun can help you get going; don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

In the meantime, the IRS remains committed to providing educational support to help you better understand the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS Act with the IRA/CHIPS Pre-filing Registration Tool. Pre-filing registration is a required step for applicable entities and eligible taxpayers to take advantage of elective payment (aka direct pay) or transfer of credits available in the IRA and CHIPS Act. To aid in this effort, the IRS is once again offering office hours, this time through July 16, 2025.

IRS office hours are designed to provide general assistance with the pre-filing registration process. Think of this as your chance to get insightful tips from the pros. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, customer service-oriented, and genuinely helpful. If you’re stuck, they’ll point you in the right direction! 

If you’re passionate about clean energy and need a bit of assistance navigating the pre-filing registration process, this is your chance to dive deep, ask questions, and connect with IRS experts who are ready to guide you through the process.

The sessions are designed to provide general assistance with the pre-filing registration process, not to give tax advice or specific policy interpretations. Don’t miss this unique opportunity — register now, and let’s make tax season a breeze!
