Are you claiming energy efficient credit that would apply to your home office?

Qualified business entities and individuals use Form 7205 to:

  • Calculate and claim the deduction under section 179D for qualifying energy efficient commercial building property placed in service during the tax year;
  • Identify yourself as a designer or the building owner;
  • Provide information on the person performing the certification; and
  • Provide information on the person completing the allocation.

If that does not apply to you, delete the form.
