                enters into an agreement with the Secretary which 
                provides that such installer will, with respect to any 
                expenditure for property described in subsection (d) in 
                connection with a dwelling unit used as a residence by

                purposes of subparagraph (A), to the extent provided by 
                the Secretary, an installer may be deemed to meet the 
                requirement under clause (ii) of such subparagraph on 
                the basis of information available to the Secretary 
                which the Secretary determines is reasonably reliable 
                for purposes of determining the amount of expenditures 
                described in subsection (a) made by a taxpayer in

        identification number' means a unique identification number 
        with respect to expenditures described in subsection (a) in 
        connection with a dwelling unit used as a residence by the 
        taxpayer.
            ``(4) Registration.--The Secretary may require such 
        information or registration of a qualified installer as the 
        Secretary deems necessary or appropriate for purposes of 
        preventing duplication, fraud, or improper claims with respect 
        to expenditures described in subsection (a). Under regulations 
        or other guidance prescribed by the Secretary, the registration 
        of any person under this section may be denied, revoked, or 
        suspended if the Secretary determines that such denial, 
        revocation, or suspension is necessary to prevent duplication, 
        fraud, or improper claims with respect to expenditures 
        described in subsection (a).''.

Revenue Code of 1986 is amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (P), by striking ``and'' at the end;

                    ``(R) an omission of a correct qualified 
                installation identification number required under 
                subsection (i)(1)(B) of section 25D (relating to credit 
                for residential energy efficient property) to be 
                included on a return.''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2022.
