The payment described in subsection
(a)shall be treated as made on— in the case of any government, or political subdivision, described in paragraph
(1)and for which no return is required under section 6011 or 6033(a), the later of the date that a return would be due under section 6033(a) if such government or subdivision were described in that section or the date on which such government or subdivision submits a claim for credit or refund (at such time and in such manner as the Secretary shall provide), and in any other case, the later of the due date (determined without regard to extensions) of the return of tax for the taxable year or the date on which such return is filed. As a condition of, and prior to, any amount being treated as a payment which is made by an applicable entity under subsection (a), the Secretary may require such information or registration as the Secretary deems necessary for purposes of preventing duplication, fraud, improper payments, or excessive payments under this section. In the case of any amount treated as a payment which is made by the applicable entity under subsection (a), or the amount of the payment made pursuant to subsection (c), which the Secretary determines constitutes an excessive payment, the tax imposed on such entity by chapter 1 (regardless of whether such entity would otherwise be subject to tax under such chapter) for the taxable year in which such determination is made shall be increased by an amount equal to the sum of— the amount of such excessive payment, plus an amount equal to 20 percent of such excessive payment. Subparagraph (A)(ii) shall not apply if the applicable entity demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the excessive payment resulted from reasonable cause. For purposes of this paragraph, the term excessive payment means, with respect to a facility or property for which an election is made under this section for any taxable year, an amount equal to the excess of— the amount treated as a payment which is made by the applicable entity under subsection (a), or the amount of the payment made pursuant to subsection (c), with respect to such facility or property for such taxable year, over the amount of the credit which, without application of this section, would be otherwise allowable (as determined pursuant to paragraph
(2)and without regard to section 38(c)) under this title with respect to such facility or property for such taxable year. In the case of an applicable entity making an election under this section with respect to an applicable credit, such credit shall be reduced to zero and shall, for any other purposes under this title, be deemed to have been allowed to such entity for such taxable year. In the case of any possession of the United States with a mirror code tax system (as defined in section 24(k)), this section shall not be treated as part of the income tax laws of the United States for purposes of determining the income tax law of such possession unless such possession elects to have this section be so treated. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c)(2)(A), rules similar to the rules of section 50 shall apply for purposes of this section. The Secretary shall issue such regulations or other guidance as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this section, including guidance to ensure that the amount of the payment or deemed payment made under this section is commensurate with the amount of the credit that would be otherwise allowable (determined without regard to section 38(c)). . Subchapter B of chapter 65, as amended by subsection (a), is amended by inserting after section 6417 the following new section: In the case of an eligible taxpayer which elects to transfer all (or any portion specified in the election) of an eligible credit determined with respect to such taxpayer for any taxable year to a taxpayer (referred to in this section as the transferee taxpayer ) which is not related (within the meaning of section 267(b) or 707(b)(1)) to the eligible taxpayer, the transferee taxpayer specified in such election (and not the eligible taxpayer) shall be treated as the taxpayer for purposes of this title with respect to such credit (or such portion thereof). With respect to any amount paid by a transferee taxpayer to an eligible taxpayer as consideration for a transfer described in subsection (a), such consideration— shall be required to be paid in cash, shall not be includible in gross income of the eligible taxpayer, and with respect to the transferee taxpayer, shall not be deductible under this title. In the case of any eligible credit determined with respect to any facility or property held directly by a partnership or S corporation, if such partnership or S corporation makes an election under subsection
(a)(in such manner as the Secretary may provide) with respect to such credit— any amount received as consideration for a transfer described in such subsection shall be treated as tax exempt income for purposes of sections 705 and 1366, and a partner’s distributive share of such tax exempt income shall be based on such partner’s distributive share of the otherwise eligible credit for each taxable year. In the case of any facility or property held directly by a partnership or S corporation, no election by any partner or shareholder shall be allowed under subsection
(a)with respect to any eligible credit determined with respect to such facility or property. In the case of any credit (or portion thereof) with respect to which an election is made under subsection (a), such credit shall be taken into account in the first taxable year of the transferee taxpayer ending with, or after, the taxable year of the eligible taxpayer with respect to which the credit was determined. An election under subsection
(a)to transfer any portion of an eligible credit shall be made not later than the due date (including extensions of time) for the return of tax for the taxable year for which the credit is determined, but in no event earlier than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this section. Any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable. No election may be made under subsection
(a)by a transferee taxpayer with respect to any portion of an eligible credit which has been previously transferred to such taxpayer pursuant to this section. For purposes of this section— The term eligible credit means each of the following: So much of the credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property allowed under section 30C which, pursuant to subsection (d)(1) of such section, is treated as a credit listed in section 38(b). The renewable electricity production credit determined under section 45(a). The credit for carbon oxide sequestration determined under section 45Q(a).

The clean fuel production credit determined under section 45Z(a). The energy credit determined under section 48. The qualifying advanced energy project credit determined under section 48C. The clean electricity investment credit determined under section 48E. In the case of any eligible credit described in clause (ii), (iii), (v), or
(vii)of subparagraph (A), an election under subsection
(a)shall be made— separately with respect to each facility for which such credit is determined, and for each taxable year during the 10-year period beginning on the date such facility was originally placed in service (or, in the case of the credit described in clause (iii), for each year during the 12-year period beginning on the date the carbon capture equipment was originally placed in service at such facility). The term eligible credit shall not include any business credit carryforward or business credit carryback determined under section 39. The term eligible taxpayer means any taxpayer which is not described in section 6417(d)(1)(A). For purposes of this section— As a condition of, and prior to, any transfer of any portion of an eligible credit pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary may require such information (including, in such form or manner as is determined appropriate by the Secretary, such information returns) or registration as the Secretary deems necessary for purposes of preventing duplication, fraud, improper payments, or excessive payments under this section. In the case of any portion of an eligible credit which is transferred to a transferee taxpayer pursuant to subsection
(a)which the Secretary determines constitutes an excessive credit transfer, the tax imposed on the transferee taxpayer by chapter 1 (regardless of whether such entity would otherwise be subject to tax under such chapter) for the taxable year in which such determination is made shall be increased by an amount equal to the sum of— the amount of such excessive credit transfer, plus an amount equal to 20 percent of such excessive credit transfer. Subparagraph (A)(ii) shall not apply if the transferee taxpayer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the excessive credit transfer resulted from reasonable cause. For purposes of this paragraph, the term excessive credit transfer means, with respect to a facility or property for which an election is made under subsection
(a)for any taxable year, an amount equal to the excess of— the amount of the eligible credit claimed by the transferee taxpayer with respect to such facility or property for such taxable year, over the amount of such credit which, without application of this section, would be otherwise allowable under this title with respect to such facility or property for such taxable year. In the case of any election under subsection
(a)with respect to any portion of an eligible credit described in clauses
(ix)through
(xi)of subsection (f)(1)(A)— subsection
(c)of section 50 shall apply to the applicable investment credit property (as defined in subsection (a)(5) of such section) as if such eligible credit was allowed to the eligible taxpayer, and if, during any taxable year, the applicable investment credit property (as defined in subsection (a)(5) of section 50) is disposed of, or otherwise ceases to be investment credit property with respect to the eligible taxpayer, before the close of the recapture period (as described in subsection (a)(1) of such section)— such eligible taxpayer shall provide notice of such occurrence to the transferee taxpayer (in such form and manner as the Secretary shall prescribe), and the transferee taxpayer shall provide notice of the recapture amount (as defined in subsection (c)(2) of such section), if any, to the eligible taxpayer (in such form and manner as the Secretary shall prescribe). This section shall not apply with respect to any amount of an eligible credit which is allowed pursuant to rules similar to the rules of subsections (c)(4) and
(d)of section 46 (as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990). The Secretary shall issue such regulations or other guidance as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this section, including regulations or other guidance providing rules for determining a partner’s distributive share of the tax exempt income described in subsection (c)(1). . Section 50(d) is amended by adding at the end the following: In the case of a real estate investment trust making an election under section 6418, paragraphs (1)(B) and (2)(B) of the section 46(e) referred to in paragraph
