The federal government announced that it is retroactively bringing back various energy property tax credits that were discontinued in 2017. The tax credit may be claimed for 10 percent of the cost of qualified energy efficiency improvements and 100 percent of all residential energy property costs. The maximum total lifetime value of the tax credit is $500 for all years combined, from 2006 to its expiration.
Of that combined $500 limit:

  • A maximum of $200 can be for windows
  • The maximum tax credit for a furnace circulating fan is $50
  • The maximum credit for a furnace or boiler is $150
  • The maximum credit for any other single residential energy property cost is $300

Please visit with your tax advisor to see if your home upgrades qualify.
