What's new for Form 3468 for tax year 2024:

• For tax years beginning after January 1, 2024, eligible filers can claim the clean electricity investment credit under section 48e in Part V.

For calendar-year filers (primarily individuals filing Form 1040), this credit is generally available for property placed in service after December 31, 2024.
