Compliance Insight: The Effect of
Uninhabitable
Buildings at Year-End
|
By: Andy Bowden, CAHEC Board Member & President of Spectrum Companies
This time of year, Spectrum receives a lot of calls from partners regarding units that are not going to be habitable at year-end. Per the instructions for filing IRS Form 8823, a "dwelling unit within a building must be structurally sound, habitable, and in good repair." Managers and owners are nervous there may be a loss of credits due to the potential decrease in qualified basis because of uninhabitable units. A key concept of the tax credit program is that after the initial credit year, the qualified basis is set at year-end. This means that if a unit is habitable on December 31, it is considered habitable for the entire year. What happens if a unit is uninhabitable on December 31? Is there recapture and a loss of credits? The answer: it depends.
Let's assume you own a building with a credit period of 2011 - 2020, and during an August 2017 hurricane, the building loses the roof and sustains severe water damage. Because the loss was "sudden, unexpected or unusual," it would be deemed a casualty loss. What are the financial effects of this situation? There are several factors that have major ramifications.
