Elective payment elections for clean energy tax credits, Form 990-T: where and how to file

Entities must file a tax return to make an elective payment election under IRC section 6417 for clean energy tax credits. Entities for which no such return is required (such as State, local and Indian tribal governments) make an elective payment election on a timely filed Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, with properly completed source credit forms, a properly completed Form 3800, General Business Credit (or its successor), and any required return attachments and information required in instructions to the relevant forms. Entities filing only to make an elective payment election with no unrelated business taxable income, including certain entities not subject to federal income tax and not otherwise required to file any annual tax or information return, will complete portions of the form specified in the instructions. For additional information on how to complete Form 990-T and due dates for filing, see Instructions for Form 990-T

An entity that is an organization or trust defined in section 511 and needs to file Form 990-T is required to file electronically. For additional information, visit IRS.gov/E-file

An entity that is not an organization or trust defined in section 511 (such as a State, local and Indian tribal government), and is filing Form 990-T to make an elective payment election, is encouraged but not required to file electronically. For more information on electronic filing, visit the Modernized e-File page on IRS.gov. To file by mail, complete Form 990-T and other forms as required, and mail to:
