Description:

Located on the

website, the IRA Storytelling Educational Program would feature a participation consent form and a series of questions—designed to offer members of the public who opt into self-disclosing information about their IRA-related experience with claiming clean energy incentives or using IRS modernization programs and resources—and enable Treasury officials to communicate their stories to the broader American public.

The IRA Storytelling Educational Program would serve to increase awareness of the IRA's tax incentives and other impacts so that more individuals, businesses, tax-exempt organizations, and others are aware of and understand the incentives now available to them, thereby promoting uptake, and the IRA's broader purpose. Public participation is entirely voluntary.
