25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit in New York

Beginning on January 1, 2023, eligible homeowners can receive credits for making their homes more energy-efficient through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Before December 31, 2022, the offer was a $500 lifetime credit, but now eligible homeowners can receive up to 30% of the total cost of certain qualifying expenses as a credit.

What Kind of Purchases Are Eligible For IRA Tax Credits?

Aqueduct can assist you in determining your eligibility and help you explore your options. Qualifying expenses typically include the equipment cost as well as installation and labor expenses. Keep in mind that tax credits do not offer immediate savings but will factor into your tax credit amount when you file your taxes for the year the work is done. Selecting the right equipment is crucial to obtaining the maximum deduction and savings.
