We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

My house came with solar panels because of a leasing agreement for the panels. I now pay for and manage the panels. Do I get the energy efficient tax credit?

No, the credit goes to the person who installed them, if they were eligible.

No.  To qualify for claiming the solar tax credit on your tax return, you’ll first need to meet some eligibility criteria:

  • Your solar equipment needs to be installed between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2034.
  • The solar equipment must be located at a residence of yours within the United States.
  • The solar equipment is new or being used for the first time (meets the original installation requirement for claiming the credit).
