If I install solar panels on my house, will I get a 30% tax refund when I file?</P> Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:44:51 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/inflation-reduction-act-solar/01/2768260#M6996 realcool3430 2026-03-10T05:44:51Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-inflation-reduction-act-solar/01/2768605#M6997 <P>Hello realcool,</P> <P>The solar credit is a non-refundable credit which means it can reduce your tax liability to $0 but any excess gets carried forward to future years and doesn't get refunded to you</P> Wed, 31 Aug 2022 18:16:26 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-inflation-reduction-act-solar/01/2768605#M6997 John-H2021 2022-08-31T18:16:26Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-inflation-reduction-act-solar/01/2768694#M6998 <P>So not paying any taxes since I'm retired, IRA doesn't help me on the cost for solar installation.
