Tax Incentives for Energy Efficiency
Tax incentives are available for homeowners and businesses that purchase and install energy-efficient equipment or make energy efficiency improvements to homes and buildings. On this page you'll find links to information on tax incentives for residential and commercial buildings, including qualified software available for calculating commercial building tax deductions.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 extended many energy efficiency and renewable energy tax incentives originally introduced in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) and amended in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-343).
