📄 Podcast Description:
This week on The Tax Credit Talk, hosts Hallie James and Parker An dive into the evolving world of tax credits, spotlighting how states, investors, and consumers are navigating housing shortages, film industry debates, and looming clean energy deadlines.

🏘️ In affordable housing, Delaware awarded $3.18 million in LIHTCs to fund four projects that will create 105 new units and preserve 116 more, including Wilmington’s first senior high-rise. Meanwhile, North Carolina’s program is driving $1.47 billion in affordable apartment development, supporting nearly 22,000 jobs and generating $95.3 million in state and local tax revenue—yet demand for credits still far outpaces supply.

🎥 In film, New York is projected to spend nearly $1 billion on production tax subsidies in 2025, with $230 million awarded in the first quarter alone. Watchdogs like Reinvent Albany argue taxpayers only get 30 cents back per dollar spent, while Empire State Development defends the program with claims of a 700% return on investment and over $1.1 billion in economic activity.

In renewable energy, federal deadlines are approaching fast. The $7,500 EV tax credit expires September 30, 2025, but buyers can still qualify by signing contracts and putting down deposits before that date—even if delivery comes later. Energy efficiency credits for solar panels, heat pumps, and insulation sunset December 31, 2025, spurring a nationwide rush to lock in savings.

🧩 Inside the episode:

  • Delaware and North Carolina showcase LIHTC impact
  • New York’s billion-dollar film credit sparks controversy
  • EV tax credit deadline looms September 30
