The federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes and in our last post we explained how it works! Now the question is: how can you claim it?
As long as you own your solar energy system, you are eligible for the solar investment tax credit. You claim it when you file your yearly federal tax return. Remember to let your accountant know you’ve gone solar in the past year or, if you file your own taxes, simply access the instructions we’re leaving below with all the information you need!
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) administers the federal tax laws that Congress enacts. So, in order to apply you’ll have to claim the credit using the form below and submitting it with your taxes to the IRS:
- Instructions form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i5695.pdf
- Applicant form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5695.pdf
The advantages of switching to solar energy are not only environmentally-friendly, but also financially smart! And we are here to make it happen for you. Contact Sunlight Solar Florida to get a free quote and step into a brighter, sun-powered future.
