[RE-wrenches] IRS Audit

The AHJ is looking for the UL certification. The IRS agent did not. The agent looked at the equipment and the displays to see that the system was operational, paid no attention to any labels.

Qualified equipment I think would be it's UL certification.  I have never run into this issue though.  Chris

Yes and no,  We had the IRS send an agent to one of our clients Ranch, and they asked to see the equipment but did not request any further documentation.

Wrenches,

Has anyone had a customer that was being audited and requesting a manufacturers’ certification statement for their PV equipment?  The only manufacturer that has been able to provide a statement has been REC. I’m attaching a copy for reference. Is there an assumption that most equipment qualifies? The IRS definition for “qualified solar electric property” is pretty vague -

 "Qualified solar electric property expenditure. The term "qualified solar electric property expenditure" means an expenditure for property which uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in a dwelling unit located in the United States and used as a residence by the taxpayer."

Thanks,

,
