February 23, 2026
1-2 PM EST
RegisterEnergy tax incentives are appearing in more client filings than ever. In 2026, the biggest risks for CPAs are no longer eligibility questions, but missed deadlines, timing errors, and unsupported assumptions made under filing pressure.

Attendees will gain practical insight into where timing and documentation issues arise, what questions to ask clients before filing, and how to avoid last-minute surprises that can lead to missed benefits or added risk.

- David Diaz, Chief Strategy Officer, Walker Blue
- John Robinson, Executive Director, Residential Energy Programs
