I am starting a business that will require the use of federal tax credits, specifically the Federal Energy tax credits (ITC). The credits are 30% uncapped and can be used by both businesses and residential customers. We are implementing a lease program where customers assign these credits to us. How can we utilize these credits to generate cash flow for the business at the end of our tax year?

In Rhode Island, must a property owner claim income received from a roommate who is staying in their home month-to-month? There is no rental or any type of written agreement. The roommate is trying to settle issues he alone has with the IRS, and they've asked for household income. He advised them that he's just "renting a room," and that I'd be unwilling to provide financial info. Could they come after me?
