AIA has been successfully advocating on behalf of you and our profession with current progress on:
- Claiming R&D expenditures in the year they were incurred
- Permanent 199A pass-through deduction for qualified business income of 23%
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) volume cap increases
- Maintaining 179D energy efficient commercial building deduction and Historic Tax Credits
Other federal support for sustainability initiatives (e.g. Energy Star, IRA energy tax credits), resilience programs (e.g. NOAA, FEMA, BRIC), and health requirements (e.g. air quality standards for schools, product labeling) remains in danger. Here is how you can help.
