The Department of Revenue will send written certification
regarding the amount of the tax credit transferred within

must have a letter from the Department certifying the credit
transferred for the transfer to be valid. A copy of the
Department's certification stating the amount of the credit
transferred must be attached to the tax return on which the
transferred tax credit is claimed by the receiving business.
To Transfer a Florida Energy Tax Credit:
• You must submit this notice (Florida Form F-1193T)
• You must not have claimed the credit amount you
want to transfer on any tax return filed with the
Department of Revenue.
You may only take the credit against the Florida corporate
income tax and you must take it in the order described in
section (s.) 220.02(8), Florida Statutes (F.S.). A transfer by
an ineligible person does not create a right to a tax credit.
A taxpayer must retain documentary evidence that
substantiates and supports this credit and the Department
may request the evidence at a later date to verify the credit.
A schedule tracking the credit amounts allocated and the
use of such credits must be maintained as part of the
evidence to support the tax credit.
