This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the deduction for energy efficient commercial buildings, to: (1) permit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations and Indian tribal governments to allocate the deduction to the person primarily responsible for designing the property in lieu of the owner of the property, (2) allow partnerships and S corporations to receive the full benefit of a deduction allocated at the partner or shareholder level, and (3) exempt property placed in service in a qualified low-income building from the requirement to reduce the basis of the property by the amount of the deduction.

Tax Reform Promoted comprehensive approach to tax reform that avoids enacting reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities or otherwise disadvantaging multifamily real estate relative to other asset classes. Support maintaining current law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (while also increasing program resources) and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings; (7) depreciation recapture; and (8) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We oppose proposals increasing taxes on capital gains. Finally, we favor: (1) repealing or reforming FIRPTA rules to incent foreign investment in U.S. real estate; and (2) expanding incentives for energy efficiency in commercial buildings (i.e., Internal Revenue Code Section 179D).
