Lunch & Learn: 179D and R&D Credits
179D and R&D Credits for Architects
Presented by KBKG
Join us for an in-person Lunch & Learn at AIA Santa Barbara with Jillian Jones, where we’ll explore how architecture firms can leverage R&D and 179D tax credits to maximize financial opportunities while advancing innovative and sustainable design.
This session will focus on R&D Tax Credits, covering how everyday design work—from sustainable strategies to complex problem-solving—may qualify for substantial tax savings under the latest legislation (OBBBA). We’ll also provide a brief update on 179D, including new incentives for energy-efficient and retrofit projects.
What You’ll Learn:
- How architecture projects may qualify for R&D tax credits
- How to calculate potential savings and document qualifying work
- Opportunities for retroactive tax refunds and deductions
- Overview of 179D deductions for energy-efficient commercial and government buildings
Whether you’re a principal, project manager, or designer, this session will equip you with practical strategies to turn your design and innovation into real tax savings.
