Deductions & credits

Yes, you can get a tax credit for installing energy-efficient property if you have a tax liability.  If you made energy-efficient improvements to your homes like energy-saving roofs, windows, skylights, and doors, you'll be able to claim the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit for 10% of amounts paid for qualified energy efficiency improvements, up to a lifetime cap of $500.

It is a non-refundable credit.   There are times when you can't take the credit in the current year:

  • Your income is at a level that's not taxed at all.
  • You're getting other tax credits that have reduced your tax owed to zero.

If your credit can be carried forward to next year, we'll do that for you.
