The best time to request an allocation letter involves a strategic two-step approach to ensure you secure your deduction and avoid potential delays:
- Step 1: Early Request with Letter of Intent:
- Timing: As soon as you win the project bid and start the design work, it's crucial to request a letter of intent.
- Purpose: The letter of intent secures your place for the 179D deduction early in the project, ensuring that another designer, architect, or engineer doesn’t claim it first.
- AllocatePro Support: AllocatePro facilitates the creation and submission of the letter of intent, helping you secure the allocation early and providing peace of mind.
- Step 2: Final Allocation Letter Post-Completion:
- Timing: Once construction is complete and all energy-efficient improvements have been verified, you should request the final allocation letter.
- Process: AllocatePro will assist you in finalizing and submitting the final allocation letter, ensuring all requirements are met and the deduction is formally secured.
Key Points to Consider:
