How to Claim the Federal Tax Credits

These credits are managed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and can be claimed with your federal income taxes for the year in which the upgrades are made.

You may claim the energy efficient home improvement credit for improvements to your main home (where you live most of the time). Your home must be in the U.S., and it must be an existing home that you improve or add onto. This credit does not apply to a newly built home. You may not claim the credit if you’re a landlord or other property owner and you do not live in the home.

The credits have no lifetime dollar limits. Homeowners may claim the maximum annual credit every year that eligible improvements are made, through 2032. The credits are nonrefundable, so you cannot get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You may not apply any excess credit to future tax years.

Details for Claiming the Residential Clean Energy Credit:

If you invest in renewable energy for your home (solar, wind, geothermal, fuel cells or battery storage technology), you may qualify for an annual residential clean energy tax credit of 30% of the costs for qualified, newly installed property from 2022 through 2032. The credit percentage drops to 26% for property installed in 2033 and 22% for property installed in 2034.

You may claim this credit for improvements to your primary home (where you live most of the year). This credit applies to new or existing homes in the U.S. You may not claim the credit if you’re a landlord or other property owner and you do not live in the home.

You may be able to claim a credit for some improvements made to a second home in the U.S. that you live in part-time and do not rent to others. Fuel cell property claims for a second home do not apply.

For these upgrades, you can carry forward any excess credit and apply it to reduce the tax you owe in future years. You may not include interest paid, including loan origination fees.
