Hearing Cancelled — Rulemaking Delayed
The IRS canceled a public hearing on proposed regulations for the Section 30C alternative fuel vehicle refueling property tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. If you were planning to attend or rely on those rules to install refueling equipment in low-income or non-urban census tracts, the rulemaking is paused and you should expect a delay before final rules or guidance are issued.
Credit Targets Low‑Income and Non‑Urban Stations
The proposed regulations concern the federal tax credit (Section 30C) under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 for costs of qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service within a low-income community or within a non-urban census tract. This rulemaking, when finalized, would affect those who install or pay for these refueling stations in those specified locations.

2026-16769, Proposed Removal of a Reporting Requirement for Trusts Whose Charitable Contribution Deductions Are Solely for Contributions Made by Passthrough Entities
This document contains proposed regulations that would amend existing regulations that require certain trusts to report all charitable contributions and amounts permanently set aside for a charitable purpose on Form 1041-A, U.S. Information Return Trust Accumulation of Charitable Amounts. The proposed regulations would remove the reporting requirement for these trusts with respect to taxable years in which the trust's only claimed charitable contribution deduction results from charitable contributions made by a passthrough entity in which the trust owns an interest. The proposed regulations would also modify the existing regulations to clarify that split-interest trusts satisfy their filing obligations by filing Form 5227, Split-Interest Trust Information Return, rather than Form 1041-A. The proposed regulations would affect certain trusts that are required to report all charitable contributions and amounts permanently set aside for a charitable purpose.
