We develop incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (IMHD) energy budget equations with a spatial filtering kernel and estimate the scaling of the structure functions. The Politano-Pouquet law is recovered as an upper bound on the scale-to-scale energy transfer. The primary result of this work is the relation of the scaling of IMHD invariants. It can be produced by hypothesizing a scale-independent energy transfer rate. These results have relevance in plasma regimes where the approximations of IMHD are justified. We measure structure functions with solar wind data and find support for the relations.
