Reduce your taxable ordinary income by up to 90% with Federal Investment Tax Credits

Write off most of your income with ITCs

With an investment in select Congress-approved infrastructure projects, you could reduce your tax bill by 75% or more.

40%-70% UP-FRONT TAX CREDIT
Congress wants you to invest in solar infrastructure. To make it worth your while, you'll get a massive up-front tax credit.
DEPRECIATION
This is a physical asset, so you'll also get to write additional depreciation off of your federal and state taxes.
REVENUE SHARE
Because you are investing in functioning infrastructure, you'll also earn revenue as the project sells the energy it produces.

How to reduce or eliminate your ordinary income taxes with a CLAT

The process is simple, and the benefits are huge. We'll be by your side from beginning to end.

1

Choose a strategy

Use our knowledge library and planning tools to evaluate the available strategies and choose the one that's right for you. And if you need guidance, we're just a Zoom call away.

2

Execute the documents & transfer assets

Answer a few questions — in 10 or 15 minutes — and we'll draft your fully compliant, lawyer-vetted documents and help you transfer your assets.

3

Pay no taxes

Here's the fun part: You're entitled to a 100% deduction on money you place in your trust, so you'll owe zero taxes on that income. Yes, you heard us right!

4

Invest how you want

You can invest out of your trust just as you would have from your personal accounts — in public equities, startups, crypto, real estate, and more.

5

Contribute to a worthy cause

Once your trust is up and running, you'll make small annual distributions to your chosen charity.

6

Receive a big check

At the end of your trust's term (between 20 and 30 years, in most cases), whatever is left in the trust after your donations will go straight to you.

Our approach: We win if you win

Different

No up-front cost

Because we've automated the process of forming a tax-advantaged trust, we can set up your account for free, and we only start charging if you decide to move your assets in.

Contingent

Minimal fixed fees

Once you move assets into your trust, we charge a reasonable, fixed fee to cover the costs of administration, like annual filings, accounting, and asset custody.

Aligned

We make money if you do

Our interests are aligned: You'll also pay us a small portion of the value of your trust assets every year, so our earnings only go up only if ours do. We're working for you.
