Tell us what you think of the show! July 4, 2026, marked one year since the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) was signed into law and a critical safe harbor deadline for clean energy developers in the United States. The legislation, which sunsets federal tax credit eligibility for some technologies such as wind and solar photovoltaics, spurred stakeholders to scramble to maximize legacy incentives before Independence Day. Now that the fireworks have passed, what happens next?This episode of the Factor This Policycast, presented in partnership with Advanced Energy United, discusses how clean energy projects are being constructed and financed in the second half of 2026 and beyond. It will address the challenges of a post-tax-credit world, share the incentives still available, and explore how policy reforms at the state and federal levels could accelerate deployment.

Cost segregation is a deduction. So that's going to lower your amount of income, which means you pay less taxes. So if you got an R and D tax credit of $20,000 and you had a liability of $20,000, now you owe zero because that's going to wipe out the liability. So tax credits are a little bit more valuable than a deduction as far as the impact.

And today we're welcoming, preparing to learn from Tom Brodie of Cost Segregation Services. So Tom, how is it going today? Tom Brodie [00:00:56]: It's going very well. Thank you for having me on the program. James [00:00:59]: Yeah, I'm glad that you're on here. I love the name of your business because it says exactly what you do. So for those that may not know, can you tell us what is cost segregation? Tom Brodie [00:01:11]: Yeah, it's, I know that people stumble over that all the time. What we do is we help commercial building owners depreciate their building faster and say faster just because it's faster than what they're used to. Right. What the CPA or tax preparer will do will take the value of the building and divide it by 39 years or 27 and a half years if it's a apartment complex. What we do is say there's things in your building are not going to last that long. So we do the study to say, okay, you've got this much assets in a five year category, this many assets, you know, in a 15 year category, and break it down that way and then help them depreciate it faster, which means more depreciation expense is less income, which means less income taxes. And so you're really saving a tremendous amount of money in income taxes. James [00:01:59]: So when you're talking about assets, can you elaborate on what those are? Tom Brodie [00:02:04]: It's a commercial building. I mean, so if you got, you know, you're building, you've got the external walls and everything else, but then you've got so much on the inside, internal walls, you know, H vac controls on the inside, things that are not really key to keeping the structure upright. Those are the things that are going to have a slower, sorry, a faster life. And so you're going to depreciate them faster and then record it's the same dollars, you're just recording it sooner. Right. And so you'll be able to write that off when those things are worth more, the whole time value of money thing. So rather than waiting 39 years to get you, your asset depreciated, you can take about 30% of that on average and record it sooner. James [00:02:42]: All right, so you're talking carpet shelving, Tom Brodie [00:02:47]: floor coverings, window coverings. Actually outside a building too. Parking lots are a huge expense that people don't think about. That's a 15 year asset. So if you've got a big parking lot, that's going to be something we can write off right away. And then security systems, fencing, you know, irrigation systems, everything outside the building that's not really part of the structure. Those are going to be usually in the 15 year asset category. James [00:03:11]: All right, now I understand you're not an accountant, but I'm still going to ask the question because it eludes the question. Hey, instead of this cost segregation or the depreciation being spread out over 39 years or 27 years, you do a chunk of it, 30% ish, right away. What happens if you sell it? Sell the building? Tom Brodie [00:03:31]: Well, that's the one thing that we tell people. If you're getting ready to sell it right away, you don't want to do this. Right. Because whenever you sell any building, you're going to have to pay recapture. And so if you accelerate the depreciation and then try to sell it the next year, all that savings is going to be eaten up when you have to pay back the recapture. So we typically tell people three to five years is a, is a good timeframe after cost seg study, you know, to hold it. If you're going to hold it that long, then that reinvested of the savings is going to be able to create a return for you that will offset the recapture. I've had some clients turn around and sell it right away. Tom Brodie [00:04:07]: I said, we talked about this, right? You said you weren't going to sell it right away. They said I made so much money I didn't care about it. Okay, as long as you did that, full knowledge that I told you not to sell it right away. But it's one of those things where, you know, things happen and you have to make a move. But we typically think that you've held on to something within three to five years, you're going to be fine. James [00:04:30]: Right on. Do the math is what it comes down To, Right, exactly. Tom Brodie [00:04:34]: I mean we, we always, we give free estimates because that's the one thing that people don't understand. How much. These are big numbers, right. A lot of times. And so when you actually see the number there and then you put it into your calculation to see if this makes financial sense, a lot of people are surprised by the number to go. I didn't know this was available. Yeah, it is. James [00:04:54]: Can you. Let's just talk the numbers and let's keep it relatively easy. Just for Neanderthals like me that aren't that good at math, let's just say for fun, we got a million dollar building, right? I just bought this million dollar commercial building, office space, warehouse space. I don't know if it matters. Can you just walk me through the numbers I can expect and then what that turns into, as far as money in my pocket goes? Tom Brodie [00:05:17]: Absolutely. Now every building's gonna be a little bit different. Like so if an office building is gonna have more things that you can actually accelerate than if you had just a metal warehouse. Right. Metal warehouse is pretty much a box. But if an office building got a lot of things on the inside of that building that you can depreciate million dollars on average, I'm usually finding a deduction, a tax deduction equal to about 20 to 25% of the building's value. Now I say building's value because you have to subtract land, right? So if it costs you a million dollars, you take the land out. Maybe you're like $800,000 or something like that. Tom Brodie [00:05:52]: So it's 20% of that building. Only value that could be in a depreciation deduction, right? So that's, and with, with 100% bonus depreciation coming back, all those things that are accelerate acceleratable are things that you could write off in year one after doing a study. So it, it's significant. So you know, not every building is the same. So the more internal walls and maybe the high end decor elements you have, you have a nice lobby with a lot of high end granite or marble or whatever. Those things cost money. And typically you're not going to ROI on those, right? So if you can write all that stuff off in the first year,...

Nearly 10 million Canadians have no access to a workplace retirement plan and the problem is most severe at small and mid-sized employers. Alex Mazer, co-founder and CEO of Commonwealth, joins Bruce to make the case for a Small Employer Retirement Plan Tax Credit: a federal incentive that could reduce the cost of setting up a group retirement plan by roughly 40% over three years, including up to $1,000 per employee in matching contribution credits. It's a policy proposal that could help close Canada's retirement savings gap and it may just appeal to politicians across the spectrum.

Tax credit equity pricing is determined by various important supply-and-demand factors. On this episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, sits down with Novogradac partners and CPAs Tony Grappone, Michael Kressig, Brad Elphick and Dirk Wallace to discuss the factors affecting demand for tax credit equity in 2026 and in the future. The speakers discuss the investor market and pressing issues for low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), new markets tax credits (NMTCs), historic tax credits (HTCs) and renewable energy tax credits (RETCs).

In this episode, Matt  and Jamison explore the concept of "active waiting" as it relates to both the spiritual life and the current legislative landscape. The primary focus of the discussion is the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC), as the association continues to await critical draft regulations from the Treasury Department. With the program set to take effect in 2027, the hosts emphasize the necessity for regulatory clarity by late summer to allow schools and scholarship-granting organizations sufficient time to prepare families and donors.The episode highlights significant state-level developments, celebrating major "opt-in" victories in New York and Colorado, while providing updates on legislative battles in Virginia and Maryland. The hosts also address concerns regarding potential state-level over-regulation and the importance of maintaining the EFTC as a straightforward federal provision. Concluding with a reflection on waiting as a spiritual discipline, this episode encourages listeners to remain faithfully engaged in advocacy while trusting in God's timing for the future of school choice.

When retirement policymakers sought to incentivize small businesses to begin offering retirement plans in an effort to help close the coverage gap, they did so in part by creating greatly expanded federal tax credits that would offset their cost in providing those plans.But research has found fewer than 6% of eligible employers are properly claiming the tax credit—and that's a problem that doesn't sit well with retirement plan advisor Will Hackler, AIF, the “401(k) Fix-It Guy” who is the Managing Partner at Integrated Pension Services. Hackler says there's a real awareness problem regarding the tax credit, and that advisors need to step in to make sure eligible firms (and their tax-filing CPAs) know about and take advantage of a program intended specifically for them.In this episode, Hackler explains the tax credit, the problem and potential solutions.

Chris Holman welcomes Dr. Stephen Rapundalo, President and CEO, MichBio, Ann Arbor, MI. Dr. Stephen Rapundalo, President and CEO of MichBio, joined the Michigan Business Beat to discuss recent developments affecting Michigan's life sciences and biosciences industry. After a 15-year effort, Michigan reestablished a research and development tax credit, offering 10% for large companies and 15% for small businesses (250 employees or fewer), with an additional 5% available when R&D is outsourced to Michigan research universities — and importantly, the credit is refundable, providing cash back to pre-revenue companies. MichBio also led a delegation to Capitol Hill, meeting directly with seven or eight of Michigan's 15 members of Congress to discuss issues spanning tariffs and trade policy, NIH and FDA budget cuts, and business tax policy. Following the trip, MichBio surveyed its members to gauge the impact of these federal issues, and Rapundalo noted that companies began reporting immediate effects from tariff announcements almost as soon as they went into effect. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

This Day in Legal History: Mexican-American WarOn May 13, 1846, Congress approved President James K. Polk's request for a declaration of war against Mexico, formally beginning the Mexican-American War. Polk had told Congress that Mexico had “invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil,” after a clash between Mexican forces and American troops near the Rio Grande. The problem was that the land where the clash occurred was disputed: the United States claimed the Rio Grande as the border of Texas, while Mexico maintained that the border was farther north at the Nueces River. Congress accepted Polk's framing and passed the war declaration, but the vote did not settle the legal question of whether the president had maneuvered the country into war. Many Whigs saw the conflict not as a defensive war, but as a war of expansion designed to seize Mexican territory.One of the sharpest critics was a young Whig congressman from Illinois, then serving his only term in the House of Representatives. In December 1847, a one Abraham Lincoln introduced what became known as the Spot Resolutions, demanding that Polk identify the precise “spot” where American blood had supposedly been shed. Lincoln wanted to know whether that spot was truly American soil, or whether U.S. troops had been sent into disputed territory first. In one of the resolutions, he asked whether “the particular spot of soil on which the blood of our citizens was so shed” was actually American soil at the time. The challenge was simple but devastating: if Polk could not prove the location was within the United States, then his legal justification for war began to fall apart.Lincoln's attack did not stop the war, and it made him unpopular with many voters who thought he was undermining American soldiers in the field. Critics even mocked him as “Spotty Lincoln.” But the episode revealed an early version of the Lincoln who would later become president: a lawyer-politician who focused on the exact words used to justify government power. The May 13 declaration therefore stands not only as the beginning of a war, but as an early constitutional fight over presidential war-making, disputed borders, and whether Congress had been asked to approve a war on a false premise.Texas has sued Netflix in state court, accusing the company of misleading subscribers about how it collects and uses viewing data. The lawsuit claims Netflix built its reputation by presenting itself as a paid, ad-free alternative to companies that rely heavily on user tracking and advertising. According to Texas, Netflix nevertheless collected large amounts of information about what users watched, how they browsed, and how they interacted with the platform.The state alleges that Netflix profited from that data by using it for advertising and sharing or selling it to outside companies without proper consent. The petition also criticizes features such as autoplay, describing them as design choices that push users toward binge-watching by removing natural stopping points. Texas further claims that Netflix marketed itself as family-friendly while still tracking children's viewing and browsing behavior, even if it has not yet targeted children with ads. Attorney General Ken Paxton said the company misrepresented itself as safer and more privacy-protective than it really was.The lawsuit brings claims under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and seeks civil penalties, an injunction, and an order requiring Netflix to delete data allegedly collected through deceptive practices.Texas Sues Netflix Over ‘Staggering' Data Logging - Law360Federal prosecutors have brought the first criminal charges against companies involved in operating the M/V Dali, the container ship that struck Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March 2024. The indictment names Singapore-based Synergy Marine, India-based Synergy Maritime, and Radhakrishnan Karthik Nair, who served as technical superintendent for the ship. Prosecutors accuse them of recklessly operating the vessel, falsifying inspection records, failing to report a hazardous condition to the Coast Guard, obstructing agency proceedings, and lying to National Transportation Safety Board investigators. The crash killed six construction workers, destroyed the bridge, disrupted access to the Port of Baltimore, and allegedly caused billions of dollars in economic losses. According to prosecutors, the Dali had electrical and mechanical problems that made it vulnerable to blackouts, and Synergy employees improperly used a flushing pump as a regular fuel supply pump for generators.The government claims that if the proper pumps had been used, the ship could have regained power in time to avoid the bridge. The indictment also includes environmental allegations tied to pollutants released into the Patapsco River, including oil, shipping containers, and bridge debris. Synergy denies wrongdoing and says the Justice Department is wrongly treating a tragic accident as a crime. The company argues that the crash was caused by a loose wire, consistent with the NTSB's findings, and says the DOJ's theory conflicts with maritime experts' conclusions. Separate civil litigation over liability is still moving forward, including claims by Maryland, Baltimore, cargo interests, insurers, and others. Maryland also finalized a $2.25 billion settlement with Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine, while continuing claims against the shipbuilder, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. Planning for the Key Bridge replacement is underway, with the new bridge expected to cost between $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion and be completed by late 2030.Ship Managers Indicted Over Baltimore Bridge Disaster - Law360In my column for Bloomberg this week, I wrote about how Congress made the adoption tax credit partially refundable beginning in 2025, a change that could help families manage the high costs of adoption. The policy is meant to make the credit more useful when families actually need the money, since adoption can involve major expenses such as agency fees, legal bills, travel, and other costs that arrive long before any tax benefit is received. But refundable credits also raise fraud concerns for the IRS because they can result in direct payments from the government.The column warns that the IRS may respond by delaying refunds, issuing broad documentation requests, and placing legitimate families through lengthy reviews. That concern is based on what happened in 2010 and 2011, when the adoption credit was fully refundable and the IRS subjected many claims to extra scrutiny. During the 2012 filing season, 90% of returns claiming the credit received additional review and 69% were selected for audit. Adoption claims are often complex, not suspicious, because they can involve international agencies, state courts, amended documents, failed placements, special-needs rules, and unusual expense records. The IRS should issue clear guidance before filing season so families know what documents they need to submit with Form 8839.It should also create a standardized checklist or attachment and a dedicated review track staffed by employees trained on adoption-credit rules. Without better guidance and staffing, the refundable portion of the credit may become less useful because families could face audits, professional fees, delayed refunds, or fear of claiming the benefit at all. The broader point is that Congress cannot expand a benefit, demand fraud prevention, reduce administrative capacity, and then be surprised when taxpayers get stuck in delays.Adoption Credit's Refundability Makes It Valuable—and Vulnerable This is a public episode.
