Enclosed is an information sheet about the federal historic preservation tax credit. If the applicable requirements are met, it provides for a credit equal to 20 percent of qualified rehabilitation expenditures against your federal income tax. To qualify for the federal historic tax credit, all of the rehabilitation work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (Standards), the total rehabilitation expenditures must exceed the adjusted basis for the building (a "substantial rehabilitation"), and the building must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. We always encourage building owners to complete the application and receive approval from the National Park Service (NPS) before any construction begins. The role of our office in this federal program is to assist the building owner with the tax credit application process. We will be glad to explain the tax credit requirements, discuss the Standards, review a draft of your application and recommend changes that will help your project b~ more readily approved by the NPS. Our office has no authority to approve or deny federal tax certification of projects as that authority rests solely with the NPS. Please note the IRS recently won a court case supporting their rule that application for the federal preservation tax credit must be made before the building is placed in service or no credit will be allowed, even if all of the rehabilitation work meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the rehabilitation is "substantial." If you have detailed tax questions, our primary contacts with the IRS are Mark Primoli (651/312-7898) and Tom Gavin (215/861-1212 ext. 136); both have been very helpful on a number of issues and projects. If you are interested in the federal tax credit, you are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible to verify if anyon-going work meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Once work is underway, changes to bring the project into conformance with the Standards can be difficult, expensive or occasionally impossible to make. All aspects of the work must meet the Standards or the entire project will be ineligible for the tax credit. Preserving and Sharing Utah's Past for the Present and Future Photographs showing all significant areas of work prior to the beginning of construction are required as part of the application. We hope the federal historic preservation tax credits can make this rehabilitation project more economically feasible. If you have any questions about the federal tax credit or need further assistance, please contact Charles Shepherd at 801/533-3562 or at cshepher®history.state.ut.us.
