Investment Tax Credit
At Presti & Naegele, we empower individuals and businesses through expert advisory services. With personalized guidance, we build enduring partnerships and contribute to sustained success.
What Is the Investment Tax Credit?
The investment tax credit (ITC) is a federal tax incentive that allows businesses to reduce their tax liability by a percentage of the cost of qualifying investments. These credits are separate from—and in addition to—standard depreciation allowances, making them an especially attractive option for businesses investing in capital assets or energy-efficient improvements.
Depending on the nature of your investment, the ITC may apply to:
- Energy-efficient systems (solar, geothermal, wind, etc.)
- Commercial buildings and manufacturing equipment
- Research and development infrastructure
- Software, hardware, and technology upgrades
At Presti & Naegele, we assess your investment activity in detail to ensure that every eligible dollar is leveraged, and no opportunity is missed.
Strategic Support for Every Step of Your Investment Tax Credit Claim
Securing the investment tax credit isn’t just about filing the right form. It requires thoughtful planning, meticulous documentation, and expert interpretation of evolving tax laws. That’s where Presti & Naegele stands apart.
From initial consultation to credit calculation and IRS submission, our investment tax credit service includes:
- Detailed eligibility analysis for each qualifying asset
- Accurate credit calculation based on current federal and state laws
- Coordination with your accounting team to ensure seamless integration
- Comprehensive documentation and audit defense support
We act not only as tax professionals, but as strategic advisors—helping you align investment timing and structure with optimal tax impact.
Our proactive process ensures you're prepared before, during, and long after your filing.

Who Can Benefit Most From the Investment Tax Credit?
The investment tax credit is most valuable for businesses making substantial capital investments in equipment, property, or sustainability. Whether you're a construction firm expanding operations, a manufacturer upgrading machinery, or a tech company installing solar panels, the ITC can significantly reduce your tax bill while accelerating your growth.
Industries we commonly help claim the investment tax credit include:
- Architecture and Construction
- Manufacturing and Industrial Operations
- Healthcare and Dental Practices
- Hospitality and Real Estate
- Technology and Software Development
If you're planning a major investment—or have made one recently—now is the time to explore how the investment tax credit can work for you.
Long-Term Benefits Beyond the Tax Year
While the immediate appeal of the investment tax credit is tax reduction, the benefits go deeper. Our clients gain:
- Stronger cash flow by deferring or reducing tax liability
- Increased ROI on capital expenditures
- Improved planning with strategic timing of deductions
- Reduced audit risk through accurate, proactive compliance
Even after your credit is claimed, we stay engaged—monitoring changes in tax legislation, identifying future eligibility opportunities, and ensuring your investment decisions continue to drive long-term gains.

Turn Capital Spending Into Strategic Tax Savings
When businesses invest in property, equipment, or infrastructure, they often focus solely on operational needs—expansion, efficiency, modernization. But those same investments can also serve as powerful tax-saving vehicles when leveraged correctly through the investment tax credit.
At Presti & Naegele, we reframe how you view capital expenditures. Instead of treating them as simple costs, we show you how to integrate tax strategy into every major purchase decision.
Whether you're planning to install solar panels on a commercial building, upgrade production equipment, or digitize operations with new tech, we help ensure those investments generate maximum financial return—now and in the years ahead.
By partnering with us early, clients gain far more than compliance. They gain foresight, confidence, and a custom-built roadmap for how to turn today’s investments into tomorrow’s competitive advantage.
Investment Tax Credit FAQs
1. How do I know if my business qualifies for the investment tax credit?
Eligibility for the investment tax credit depends on the type of investment made and current federal guidelines. Common qualifying investments include renewable energy installations, manufacturing equipment, and certain improvements to commercial property. Our team conducts a comprehensive review of your capital expenditures to determine credit eligibility and ensure all qualifications are met.
2. Can I still claim the investment tax credit if I lease equipment instead of buying it?
Yes, in some cases you may still be eligible to claim the investment tax credit even if the equipment is leased, depending on the lease structure and who retains ownership. Presti & Naegele can analyze your lease agreements to determine whether the credit applies and how to claim it accurately.
3. Is the investment tax credit available at the state level too?
While the investment tax credit is a federal program, some states offer their own versions or incentives that work in tandem with the federal ITC. We provide both federal and state-level tax planning to help you capture every available benefit.
4. What documentation do I need to claim the investment tax credit?
To claim the investment tax credit, you’ll need purchase receipts, installation records, proof of use, and potentially third-party certifications (such as for energy-efficient systems). We help you prepare all necessary documents and ensure your records are audit-ready.
5. When should I involve a tax advisor in planning for the ITC?
Ideally, you should consult a tax advisor before making an investment to ensure your plans align with ITC eligibility and maximize benefits. However, even post-purchase, our team can assess your past transactions for potential claims and develop a forward-looking tax strategy.

I have had my business for more than 10 years and struggled through several *truly awful* accountants. I found Presti & Naegele about 5 years ago and have never looked back. They are a life-changing breath of fresh air and they will be my accountants for as long as I live.
Andy and the whole Presti Naegele team have been game changers as accountants for our business. My previous accountant was very hands-off and not accessible. Andy and his team are always available, willing and able to roll up their sleeves no matter what we throw at them. Highly recommend - do NOT hesitate to work with them!
