How to Maximize Energy Efficiency Tax Credits Under New IRS Rules

The eco-conscious movement continues gaining momentum, and the IRS is lending a hand. With energy efficiency incentives like 45L and 25C tax credits, going green packs more financial punch than ever.

Thankfully, the IRS recently stepped up with expanded, clarified regulations for the 45L and 25C energy efficiency tax credits. This notice removes roadblocks and simplifies the process for taxpayers pursuing credits.

If you want to capitalize on every energy efficiency tax credit savings opportunity available to you, understanding the new IRS rules is a must. Read on to learn more about how these regulations benefit homeowners and builders pursuing greener, more cost-effective living through 45L and 25C credits.

Demystifying 45L and 25C Energy Efficiency Tax Credits

In short, the 45L credit incentivizes building owners and developers of energy-efficient residential properties that are newly built or substantially remodeled, while the 25C credit offers rewards for retrofitting and upgrading existing primary residences. The key connection between these two is that comprehensive energy audits can qualify taxpayers for both credits, leading to multiplied savings.

Energy audits provide a detailed analysis of a home or building's energy usage and pinpoint areas for efficiency improvements. Auditors check the insulation, windows, appliances, lighting, HVAC systems and more, with the results determining what upgrades are recommended to improve energy efficiency.
