In this week’s Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael J. Novogradac, CPA, begins with a tax extenders update, followed by key House subcommittee appointments. He also talks about a proposal on federal expenditures, and he discusses several tax-extender letters to Congress. In the low-income housing tax credit section, he discusses the possibility of the National Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund finally getting funded. Next, he shares news about a new cosponsor for the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2013 (S.1133), and he mentions Annie Donovan, newly appointed director of the CDFI Fund. In the historic tax credit section, he addresses how expanded Community Reinvestment Act guidance could encourage greater investment in historic properties in underserved communities. He also has a state-level update regarding the Texas historic tax credit. He closes with the renewable energy tax credit section, where he shares the outlook of two Iowa congressmen on the future of the production tax credit, and a review of “Clean Energy Works for Us: Q3 2014 Jobs Report,” a new report on how more predictable renewable energy tax credit legislation could foster continued growth of the industry.
