Summary/Abstract
In July 2024, the IRS released this guidance (Notice 2024-60), which describes information that taxpayers must submit to the IRS before claiming a 45Q tax credit for carbon sequestration. The guidance specifically details information that must included in the lifecycle analysis (LCA) report, which the IRS must approve for each eligible carbon sequestration facility before awarding the credit. The LCA must include, among other things, a cover page with details on the project and include supplemental information, such as the production and maintenance schedules. Further, an independent third party must prepare or verify the life cycle analysis and provide a statement of its role with the report.
