The Homeowners’ Guide to Tax Credits and Rebates

Print

When you file this year, it’s especially important to reap the benefits of your household’s energy-efficiency. There were a number of changes to the tax code for homeowners that took effect in 2019 and remain available for the 2020 tax year. We put together a list of some common home improvement and renewable energy tax credits that may help you save money on your 2020 tax return. We’ve also included information on rebates available for energy-efficient appliance purchases to help you save money if you need or want to use your tax savings on energy-efficient appliances.

What’s a home improvement tax credit?

To help provide incentives for homeowners to make energy-efficiency home improvements, the federal government offers tax credits as a way to offset the costs of these repairs/changes. This is not cash in your hand (like a rebate which gives you cash back after you’ve made a purchase), but a credit you can claim on your annual tax return that may reduce the federal taxes you pay as a homeowner. For 2020, the tax code remains focused on providing incentives for homeowners to make the move to renewable energy sources, such as solar, geothermal, fuel cells and residential wind turbines.

Note: Tax credits for home improvements that expired in 2017 were retroactively extended through December 31, 2021. Those currently in place might change in the future. In other words, a tax credit that exists today for, say, replacing your hot water heater with a solar water heating system, might not exist in a few years or, if it does exist, might not be for the same dollar amount.

Although the tax credits for energy efficient home improvements expire at the end of 2021, you always have the option to refile your return from a previous year you made a qualifying home improvement, going back to 2017. If you are just learning about the available tax credits and did not claim them in 2017, 2018 or 2019 you are eligible to refile. It is recommended that you consult your tax adviser about your individual tax situation. This guide is meant to provide general information only.

 

What Types of Tax Credits Are You Looking For?

Tax Rebates  |  Roofs  |  Solar Energy Systems  |  Windows, Doors and Skylights  |  Insulation

 Biomass Heaters  |  Air Conditioning  |  Water Heaters  |  Wind Turbines  |  Geothermal Heating

Home Improvement Tax Credits for Roofs:

Home Improvement Tax Credits for Roofs

Is there a tax credit for roofs? Yes! If you are replacing or adding a new roof to your home, you could qualify for an energy-efficient home improvement tax credit for as much as 10% of the cost (not including installation costs), up to $500. Here’s how to add your roof tax credit to your tax return and the requirements to receive a roof tax credit.

Am I eligible for a roof tax deduction?

This tax credit was extended through December 31, 2021 and you may take advantage of it even if you replaced your roof before 2020. If you were eligible and did not claim it on your return as far back as 2017, you can refile your return for the appropriate year to take advantage of the savings. Consult your tax professional to find out if refiling is right for you.

  • This must be for your primary residence (you live here most of the time).
  • This must not be for a new home or a rental.
  • The roofs that are eligible are reflective asphalt or metal.
  • Roof coatings are not eligible.
  • You must have a copy of the Manufacturer's Certification Statement to qualify
  • More eligibility requirements can be found here.

How do I apply for a roof tax credit?

  1. Make sure you’ve saved a copy of the roof Manufacturer’s Certification Statement for your records, but you do not need to file this with your tax return. More details here.
  2. When you submit your 2020 tax return, file Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) here.

How much can I claim for a new roof on my tax return?

You can deduct up to 10% of the cost (not including installation costs), up to $500.

Other common questions about roof tax credits:

  • Is a roof replacement eligible for a tax credit? Yes, see above for details on how to claim this tax credit.
  • Does a new roof qualify for a tax credit? Not for a brand new home, but an energy-efficient replacement roof would qualify when installed on your primary residence. Search for ENERGY STAR-certified roof products here.
  • Can roof repairs be used to claim the tax credit? Usually not. The federal government typically considers repairs as current expenses, meaning those necessary to maintain a property. Replacing a roof, in contrast, is considered a capital improvement and therefore does qualify for the tax credit.
  • Are metal roofs eligible for a tax credit? Yes, in certain circumstances. The product must be certified by ENERGY STAR®. You can learn more here. The tax credit is generally for up to 10% of cost (not counting installation, and with a $500 lifetime limit).
  • Does an asphalt roof qualify for the tax credit? Yes, if it has appropriate cooling granules. The tax credit is for up to 10% of cost (not counting installation) with a lifetime limit of $500. Find out more here.
  • Does the tax credit apply to roof coatings? No.
  • Are new roof shingles eligible for a tax credit? If you are replacing your roof, the cost of materials can be claimed as a tax credit to the amount allowed by law (see above). If you are simply replacing or repairing certain shingles, that does not qualify for a tax credit.

  2. When you submit your 2020 tax return, file Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) here.

How much can I claim for new solar panels on my tax return?

Other common questions about solar panel tax credits:

Is there an ENERGY STAR® label yet for solar panels?

No, solar energy products are not currently eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR® label because they do not yet meet the criteria in the ENERGY STAR® guiding principles. As solar panels increase in popularity that could change.

Am I eligible for a solar hot water heater tax credit?

  • The water heater may be installed in your primary residence or a secondary home.
  • Existing and new homes qualify; rentals do not.
  • Solar panels must help power the residence and meet the necessary fire and electrical codes.
  • At least half the energy generated by the solar hot water heater must come from the sun.
  • The system must be certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation.

  • 30% for systems placed in service by 12/31/19
  • 26% for systems placed in service after 12/31/19 and before 01/01/23
  • 22% for systems placed in service after 12/31/22 and before 01/01/24

Other common questions about solar hot water heater tax credits:

  • Is a solar water heater installed for a swimming pool or hot tub eligible for a tax credit? No.
  • Do solar hot water repairs qualify for tax credits? No. They are considered maintenance expenses rather than home improvement expenses and therefore are not eligible.
  • Will any ENERGY STAR® solar water heater qualify? Yes, all ENERGY STAR-certified solar hot water heaters are eligible for the tax credit.

What Are Rebates for Energy-Efficient Appliances?

Home Improvement Tax Credits for Wind Turbines

Like federal tax credits, rebates are incentives for consumers — this time from manufacturers and/or power companies rather than the federal government — to upgrade older and likely less energy-efficient appliances with newer models that operate more efficiently. Unlike tax credits, rebates are actual cash — eventually. Yes, some paperwork is required. You generally need to show proof of purchase and model numbers (depending on the type of rebate), but when everything matches up, your rebate will be mailed to your home from either the participating manufacturer or energy company.

What types of appliances qualify for rebates?

While the list changes regularly as manufacturers and power companies offer different options, generally the following appliances qualify for rebates:

Appliance rebates:

  • Dishwashers
  • Washing machines
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • Residential dehumidifiers
  • Room air conditioners
  • Water coolers

Fan rebates:

  • Ceiling fans
  • Residential ventilation fans

Residential water heater rebates:

  • Whole-house tankless water heaters
  • Heat pump water heaters
  • High-efficiency gas storage water heaters
  • Solar/electric
  • Solar/gas

Heating and cooling equipment rebates:

  • Boilers
  • Central A/C
  • Electric air-source heat pump
  • Furnaces
  • Geothermal heat pumps
  • Smart thermostats

Home exterior/interior rebates:

  • Insulation
  • Roofing products
  • Windows, doors, skylights

Lighting product rebates:

  • CFL bulbs
  • Ceiling fans with lights
  • Decorative string lights
  • LED lighting
  • Light fixtures

 

How do I find out which energy-efficient appliance rebates are available?

 

While there are a number of ways you can discover rebates, the easiest way is to visit the ENERGY STAR® rebate center and type in your zip code. This government agency keeps track of rebates for energy-efficient appliances from a variety of resources, making it your one-stop appliance-rebate shop. The rebates change regularly, so it’s worth checking the site  when you’re considering replacing or buying an appliance for the most up to date information.

It’s worth noting that in some instances an energy-efficient appliance might qualify for both a rebate and a tax credit. Now that could be a win-win for you and the environment!
