State tax filing

Reading your first question, you want to claim your home solar panels on Form 5695. Minh is correct to claim the domestic content bonus requires a different set of forms and circumstances.

Your second question:

  • It is a business credit that has been extended to include hydropower and solar. 
  • Your home would not qualify as a qualified facility. 
  • You could qualify for the credit if you have business activities to file with your personal tax return that use the solar panels and are a qualified facility.

 

2024 Instructions for Form 8835 state: Use a separate Form 8835 to claim the credit for electricity that you produced from certain renewable resources at each qualified facility.
