Home Improvements

Good morning. I live in Wisconsin and have questions regarding tax benefits for home improvements. Is there a tax benefit for purchasing new energy efficient kitchen appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and freezer)? What home improvements, if any, give me a tax benefit? Thank you.

Home Improvements

Congratulations.  Upgrades are exciting!

 

New federal income tax credits are available through 2032 providing up to $3,200 annually to lower the cost of energy efficient home upgrades by up to 30 percent. Improvements such as installing heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, doors and windows, as well as electrical panel upgrades, home energy audits and more, are covered by the tax credits and can help families save money on their monthly energy bills for years to come. 

 

In addition to the energy efficiency credits, homeowners can also take advantage of the modified and extended Residential Clean Energy credit, which provides a 30 percent income tax credit for clean energy equipment, such as rooftop solar, wind energy, geothermal heat pumps and battery storage through 2032, stepping down to 22 percent for 2033 and 2034. 

 

The maximum credit you can claim each year is:

  • $1,200 for energy property costs and certain energy efficient home improvements, with limits on doors ($250 per door and $500 total), windows ($600) and home energy audits ($150)

$2,000 per year for qualified heat pumps, biomass stoves or biomass boilers

See IRS article on energy efficient home improvement credits. for more details.
