CPA's, EA's, Tax Preparers - Denied LA Solar Credit

The LDR is being a good soldier for the state of Louisiana, and following orders that it knows are going to be ruled invalid. They are doing what is necessary to manage cash flows for purposes of having a balanced budget. The courts will eventually determine that all who acted in good faith and qualified for the solar credit when they purchased the equipment are entitled to the credit. There is no financial benefit for your clients to pursue the matter before the courts act, and there it may be detrimental to you as a professional if you alienate one, or more, LDR employee.

Explain the situation to your clients, and tell them that any fees they pay to pursue the matter will not accelerate recovery of the tax credit. Use the alternative fuel credit as a historic reference that they will get paid when the courts invalidate the ex post facto law and violation of equal protection.

We e-filed ours 2 years ago and was told it would have to be paper filed. Then, the return went into a review status that took months to be reviewed. I want to say we got our refund check somewhere in October.
