Yes, you can apply for both a solar water heater and the heat pump.  

 

Your deduction has a limit.

 

"Prior to its extension and expansion through the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the energy efficient home improvement credit amounted to a lifetime credit of $500 through December 31, 2022, and had a different name, the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit. 

 

Beginning January 1, 2023, the credit becomes equal to the lesser of 30% of the sum of amounts paid for qualifying home improvements or the annual $1,200 credit limit. In addition the aggregate $1,200 limit, annual dollar credit limits apply to specific items including:

  • Home energy audits: $150
  • Exterior doors: $250 per door (up to $500 per year)
  • Exterior windows and skylights, central A/C units, electric panels and related equipment, natural gas, propane and oil water heaters, furnaces or hot water boilers: $600"

Thank you.  Do enter the total of both in the same box?  I only see one box.  Also, do I enter the total cost or do I have to figure the amount of my credit?

You can enter the full amount for both as one entry.

 

You enter the total cost, the program calculates the credit.
