documentation obtained from the Department of Energy  
providing an emissions value.  
For the latest information about developments related to  
Form 7210 and its instructions, such as legislation  
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
There is a statutory prohibition in section 45V that  
disallows the section 45V credit for any qualified clean  
hydrogen produced at a facility that includes carbon  
capture equipment for which the section 45Q credit is  
allowed to any taxpayer for the tax year or any prior tax  
year.  
What’s New  
New Form 7210. Beginning in 2023, new Form 7210,  
Clean Hydrogen Production Credit, will be used to claim  
the section 45V clean hydrogen production credit.  
Facility information. As a result of recent tax law  
changes, Form 7210 and its instructions were developed  
to require separate information and calculation of the  
clean hydrogen production credit for each qualified  
production facility. See Facility Information, later.  
Tax-exempt and governmental entities. For tax years  
beginning after 2022, applicable entities (such as certain  
tax-exempt and governmental entities) can elect to treat  
the clean hydrogen production credit as a payment of  
income tax. See Applicable entities, later.  
Credit transfers. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
eligible taxpayers, partnerships, and S corporations can  
elect to transfer all or part of the credit amount otherwise  
allowed as a general business credit to an unrelated  
third-party buyer in exchange for cash. Eligible taxpayers  
don't include applicable entities and electing taxpayers.  
See Credit transfers, later.  
Electing taxpayers. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
taxpayers, partnerships, and S corporations, electing to be  
treated as applicable entities, can elect to treat the clean  
hydrogen production credit as a payment of income tax.  
entities, later.  
How to Claim the Credit  
To qualify for the credit, the clean hydrogen must be  
produced in either the United States (as defined in section  
638(1)) or a territory of the United States (as defined in  
section 638(2)), for its sale or use, in the ordinary course  
of a trade or business of the taxpayer. Additionally, the  
production and sale or use of such clean hydrogen must  
be verified by an unrelated party.  
File a separate Form 7210 for each qualified clean  
hydrogen production facility for which you claim the  
section 45V credit. Complete Part I to report facility  
information and the appropriate lines of Parts II, III, and IV  
(if applicable) to calculate your clean hydrogen production  
credit for such facility. If you claimed a credit for a qualified  
clean hydrogen production facility and also received a  
Schedule K-1 for a section 45V credit from a partnership  
or S corporation, you must file a separate Form 7210 to  
report your distributive share of any credit from these other  
sources. Enter “Credit from partnerships and S  
corporations” on the separate Form 7210, Part I, line 2a,  
and enter the total credit amount on Part IV, line 11.  
Partnerships and S corporations. You must complete  
and attach a separate Form 7210 for each facility or  
property to your return even if (1) you cannot claim the  
credit, (2) you did not elect to treat the clean hydrogen  
production credit as a payment under section 6417, or (3)  
you did not elect to transfer the clean hydrogen production  
credit (or portion thereof) under section 6418.  
Partnerships and S corporations that own and operate  
a qualified clean hydrogen production facility must file a  
separate Form 7210. All others are generally not required  
to complete or file this form if their only source for this  
credit is from a partnership or S corporation. Instead, they  
can report this credit directly on Form 3800, General  
Business Credit.  
Pre-filing registration. The IRS has established a  
pre-filing registration that must be completed prior to  
electing payment or transfer of the clean hydrogen  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Use a separate Form 7210 to claim the section 45V credit  
for the production of qualified clean hydrogen produced  
after 2022 at each qualified clean hydrogen production  
facility during the 10-year period beginning on the date the  
facility is originally placed in service.  
Amount of Credit  
The clean hydrogen production credit for any tax year is  
adjusted annually for inflation. The credit is calculated by  
multiplying an applicable amount by the kilograms of  
qualified clean hydrogen produced. The applicable  
Feb 23, 2024  
Cat. No. 93566P  
amount ranges from $0.12 to $0.60 per kilogram  
depending on the level of lifecycle greenhouse gas  
emissions associated with the production of the hydrogen.  
The credit is multiplied by 5 if the qualified clean hydrogen  
production facility meets certain prevailing wage and  
apprenticeship requirements.  
Your election to treat the credit as a payment generally  
applies to 2023 and any subsequent year during the  
10-year period beginning on the date such facility was  
originally placed in service. You must obtain an  
IRS-issued registration number for the facility in 2023 and  
each of the succeeding years.  
Taxpayers electing to be treated as applicable enti-  
ties. If you aren’t an applicable entity, you can also elect  
to treat the credit as a payment of taxes on your return.  
Section 6417(d)(1)(B) allows an electing taxpayer,  
including a partnership or an S corporation under section  
6417(c), to treat the credit for the production of clean  
hydrogen at a qualified facility as a payment or deemed  
payment of taxes.  
For a discussion of who is considered an electing  
taxpayer, see the Instructions for Form 3800. For more  
information on elective payment elections under section  
6417, see Elective Payment of Certain Business Credits  
Under Section 6417 or Section 48D in the Instructions for  
Form 3800.  
For information regarding calculating the lifecycle  
greenhouse gas emissions rate for purposes of  
determining the amount of the section 45V credit, see  
Applicable Percentage  
The credit in any tax year is calculated by multiplying an  
amount equal to $0.60 per kilogram (kg) of qualified clean  
hydrogen produced by an applicable percentage based  
on the resulting lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions as  
follows.

Credit transfers. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
under section 6418, eligible taxpayers, partnerships, and  
S corporations that don’t elect payment can elect to  
transfer all or part of the clean hydrogen production credit  
amount otherwise allowed as a general business credit to  
an unrelated third-party buyer in exchange for cash.  
Eligible taxpayers don't include applicable entities. For  
more information on credit transfers, see Transfer of  
Eligible Credits Under Section 6418 in the Instructions for  
Form 3800.  
2.5 to not greater than 4.0  
20%  
The $0.60 amount is adjusted by multiplying the  
amount by the inflation adjustment factor for the calendar  
year in which the qualified clean hydrogen is produced. If  
this adjusted amount is not a multiple of 0.1 cent, the  
amount must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.1  
cent.  
Pre-filing registration requirement for payments or  
transfers. Before you file your tax return, if you intend to  
make an elective payment election or transfer election on  
Form 3800 for the clean hydrogen production credit  
figured in Part II, you must complete a pre-filing  
registration for each qualified clean hydrogen production  
facility. To register, go to IRS.gov/Credits-Deductions/  
Pub. 5884, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS Act of  
2022 (CHIPS) Pre-filing Registration Tool, for more  
information. Also see Registering for and Making Elective  
Payment and Transfer Elections in the Instructions for  
Form 3800.  
In the case of any hydrogen for which an emissions rate  
has not been determined, a taxpayer producing such  
hydrogen may file a petition with the Secretary of the  
Treasury to determine the emissions rate with respect to  
such hydrogen.  
Applicable entities. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
applicable entities (as defined under section 6417(d)(1)  
(A)) that generally don't benefit from income tax credits  
may elect to treat the clean hydrogen production credit for  
a qualified clean hydrogen production facility originally  
placed in service after December 31, 2012, as a payment  
of income tax. Resulting overpayments may result in  
refunds.  
Credit Reduced for Tax-Exempt Bonds  
Applicable entities making the elective payment  
election for the clean hydrogen production credit must file  
the following:  
The credit is reduced by an amount that is the product of  
the credit amount otherwise determined for the tax year  
and the lesser of 15% or a fraction determined for the tax  
year. The numerator of the fraction is the sum, for the tax  
year and all prior tax years, of proceeds of an issue of any  
obligations the interest on which is exempt from tax under  
section 103 and which is used to provide financing for the  
qualified facility. The denominator of the fraction is the  
aggregate amount of additions to the capital account for  
the qualified facility for the tax year and all prior tax years  
as of the close of the tax year.

Instructions for Form 7210 (2023)  
           
Increased Credit Amount for Qualified Clean  
Hydrogen Production Facilities  
In the case of any qualified clean hydrogen production  
facility that satisfies one of the following requirements, the  
amount of the credit described above is multiplied by 5.  
Definitions  
The following definitions apply for qualified clean  
hydrogen.  
A facility the construction of which begins prior to  
January 29, 2023, and which satisfies the prevailing wage  
requirements with respect to any alterations or repairs  
occurring after January 29, 2023. See Notice 2022-61.  
Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions has the same  
meaning given such term under section 211(o)(1)(H) of  
the Clean Air Act.  
A facility which satisfies the prevailing wage and  
apprenticeship requirements.  
Qualified clean hydrogen means hydrogen that is  
produced through a process that results in a lifecycle  
greenhouse gas emissions rate of not greater than 4  
kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen that is  
produced (1) in the United States (as defined in section  
638(1)) or a United States territory (having the meaning of  
the term “possession”as defined in section 638(2)), (2) in  
the ordinary course of a trade or business of the taxpayer,  
and (3) for sale or use and for which production and sale  
or use of such hydrogen is verified by an unrelated party.  
Prevailing Wage Requirements  
To meet the prevailing wage requirements with respect to  
any qualified clean hydrogen production facility, a taxpayer  
must ensure that any laborers and mechanics employed  
by the taxpayer or any contractor or subcontractor in:  
The construction of such facility, and  
The alteration or repair of such facility (with respect to  
any tax year, for any portion of such tax year that is within  
the 10-year period beginning on the date the facility is  
originally placed in service), are paid wages at rates not  
less than the prevailing rates for construction, alteration, or  
repair of a similar character in the locality in which such  
facility is located, as most recently determined by the  
Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Subchapter IV of  
chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code. Correction and  
penalty mechanisms for a taxpayer's failure to satisfy the  
prevailing wage requirements are set forth under section  
45(b)(7)(B).  
Qualified clean hydrogen production facility means  
a facility owned by the taxpayer, which produces qualified  
clean hydrogen, and the construction of which begins  
before 2033.  
Establishing beginning of construction. A taxpayer  
may establish that construction of a facility begins:  
By starting physical work of a significant nature  
(Physical Work Test), or  
By paying or incurring 5% or more of the total cost of  
the facility (Five Percent Safe Harbor).  
Apprenticeship Requirements  
See Notice 2022-61 for more information.  
To meet the apprenticeship requirements, taxpayers must  
ensure that, with respect to the construction of any  
qualified clean hydrogen production facility, not less than  
the applicable percentage of the total labor hours of the  
construction, alteration, or repair work (including such  
work performed by any contractor or subcontractor) with  
respect to such facility is, subject to section 45(b)(8)(B),  
performed by qualified apprentices.  
Modification of Existing Facilities. For purposes of the  
credit availability period, in the case of any facility that was  
originally placed in service before 2023, and prior to the  
modification to produce qualified clean hydrogen did not  
produce qualified clean hydrogen, and such facility is  
modified after December 31, 2022, to produce qualified  
clean hydrogen and the amounts paid or incurred with  
respect to such modification are properly chargeable to  
the capital account of the taxpayer, then such facility shall  
be deemed to have been originally placed in service as of  
the date that the property required to complete the  
modification to produce qualified clean hydrogen is placed  
in service.  
No overlap with section 45Q credits. No section 45V  
credit is allowed with respect to any qualified clean  
hydrogen produced at a facility that includes carbon  
capture equipment for which a credit is allowed to any  
taxpayer under section 45Q for the tax year or any prior  
tax year.  
The apprenticeship requirements of IRA 2022 include  
three components: a labor hours requirement, a ratio  
requirement, and a participation requirement.  
Under the labor hours requirement, the taxpayer must  
ensure that, depending on when construction began,  
12.5% to 15% of the total labor hours performed in the  
construction, alteration, or repair of the qualified clean  
hydrogen production facility are performed by qualified  
apprentices from a registered apprenticeship program.  
Under the ratio requirement, the taxpayer must ensure  
that the applicable ratio of apprentices to journey-workers  
established by the registered apprenticeship program are  
met for apprentices working on the qualified clean  
hydrogen production facility each day.
