From document requests to a reviewable diligence record
Buyers, developers, brokers, and advisors need a shared view of what has been requested, received, and reviewed. Use a transaction checklist to organize the evidence and keep unresolved questions visible.
- Define the checklist. Identify the credit, transaction structure, requested documents, and reviewer responsibilities.
- Collect evidence. Request project documents and associate the received files with the relevant checklist items.
- Review and resolve gaps. Review extracted information against source documents; record questions and request revisions where needed.
- Track decisions. Keep document receipt separate from review completion so an uploaded file is not mistaken for an approved item.
- Prepare for closing. Review outstanding items and retain the supporting documents and decisions with the transaction record.
Example tax credit diligence checklist
Illustrative starting point, to be adapted by the transaction team. These are example responsibilities, not a representation of a completed DealStar transaction.
| Review area | Example evidence | Reviewer responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Project and credit | Project summary and credit calculation | Tax advisor confirms applicable rules and assumptions |
| Placed in service | Commissioning and operational records | Project and tax teams reconcile dates and supporting evidence |
| Bonus claims | Manufacturing or labor documentation, where relevant | Specialist reviews the evidence supporting each claimed bonus |
| Transfer preparation | Registration and proposed transfer documentation | Counsel and tax advisors resolve open transaction requirements |
What still requires professional review?
Automation helps organize documents and track work. It does not determine tax eligibility, replace legal advice, or guarantee an IRS outcome. Qualified reviewers make those judgments using the underlying evidence.
