EGG SAVE Act of 2026

The EGG SAVE Act of 2026 creates a new tax credit for commercial egg hatcheries that purchase and install equipment capable of identifying the sex of avian embryos before they hatch. To qualify for the credit, the technology must achieve at least 95 percent accuracy in sex determination and be used at a facility located in the United States. The credit amount is set at 50 percent of qualified expenditures for equipment placed in service in 2027, decreasing to 40 percent in 2028 and 30 percent in 2029. This incentive program terminates for any property placed in service after December 31, 2029.
