Selling Tax Credits

Selling a tax credit means transferring it for cash to an unrelated corporate buyer under Section 6418. Sellers typically receive 88 to 96 cents per dollar of credit in 2026, depending on credit type, deal size and risk. The process covers IRS pre-filing registration, buyer diligence, a transfer agreement and a transfer election statement.
