What Is the Investment Tax Credit?

The investment tax credit (ITC) provides Washington D.C. businesses with a powerful way to cut down tax liability by applying a credit to qualifying capital expenditures. Unlike depreciation, the ITC offers a direct reduction in taxes owed—making it highly valuable for companies investing in technology, energy, or infrastructure.

Eligible investments may include:

✔ Renewable energy installations such as solar or geothermal systems
✔ Equipment and machinery used in commercial or production settings
✔ Infrastructure upgrades that support innovation or R&D
✔ Technology improvements—both software and hardware

At Presti & Naegele, we take a meticulous approach to evaluating your D.C.-based investments to ensure you get the maximum benefit from every eligible dollar.

Claiming the investment tax credit is more involved than simply checking a box. It takes careful planning, robust documentation, and a clear understanding of ever-changing tax laws. That’s where Presti & Naegele stands out in the Washington D.C. market.

Our full-service ITC offering includes:

✔ Complete analysis of each investment’s eligibility

Investment Tax Credit Washington D.C. 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.

CLIENT REVIEW

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!
