The Big Beautiful Breakdown: Energy Credits Get the Axe

In this emergency headline edition of Traction with the Tiger, host and Tax Tiger Chris Wittich breaks down the surprising and sweeping elimination of energy-related tax incentives under the One Big Beautiful Bill. From the repeal of Section 179D deductions to the disappearance of residential solar, geothermal, EV, and home improvement credits, most of these benefits are slated to end after 2025, with some (like 179D) lasting until mid-2026 depending on construction start dates. Chris explains what’s going away, why it matters, and what clients should consider as the window rapidly closes on these incentives. It’s a tough update, but one with critical planning opportunities for those who act fast.
