Why we checked itSpecific claim about authorship of first federal film tax credit — verifiable whether such legislation exists and whether Becerra was involved
What we foundThere has never been a first federal tax *credit* for film and movie production that Becerra helped enact; the only pre-existing federal incentive (Section 181, enacted 2004) is a tax *deduction*, not a credit, and Becerra is not listed as a sponsor of the 2004 legislation that created it.
