This popular incentive was renewed, effective from January 1, 2010, and extended until December 31, 2011. See EPA's factsheet or their brownfield tax incentive webpage for additional information. The Brownfields Tax Incentive allows environmental cleanup costs to be deducted in the year incurred, rather than capitalized over time. Prior expansion of this legislation allowed the deduction of expenses for the cleanup of petroleum products (crude oil, crude oil condensates, and natural gasoline), which had previously been ineligible. Any qualified remediation costs at any qualified contaminated property are eligible to be deducted under this program. Please see the Verification form below in order to request a letter of qualification for your site. The Internal Revenue Service form for using the Incentive is Schedule M-3. Check the Federal Code for a recent version of the Section 198 tax incentive.
