• Solar Tax Credits and Home Basis

    From Tom Russ@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 20 18:04:50 2022
    I was wondering if there is any effect on home basis for claiming the solar tax credit for installing solar panels. As a concrete example, assume that installing such panels on one's home costs $20,000 and qualifies for the 30% tax credit ($6,000).

    Is the basis in the home increased by the full $20,000 cost of the panels or only by $14,000?

    $14K. This calculation is true for all the other energy related tax
    credits as well.
