  If you make energy improvements to your home, tax credits are available for a portion of qualifying expenses. The credit amounts and types of qualifying expenses were expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
  
  We'll help you compare the credits and decide whether they apply to expenses you've already paid or will apply to improvements you're planning for the future.
  
  Who Can Claim the Credits
  You can claim either the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit or the Residential Energy Clean Property Credit for the year when you make qualifying improvements.
  
  Homeowners who improve their primary residence will find the most opportunities to claim a credit for qualifying expenses. Renters may also be able to claim credits, as well as owners of second homes used as residences.
  
  The credits are never available for improvements made to homes that you don't use as a residence.
  
  Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit
  These expenses may qualify if they meet requirements detailed on energy.gov:
  
  Exterior doors, windows, skylights and insulation materials
  Central air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, boilers and heat pumps
  Biomass stoves and boilers
  Home energy audits
  The amount of the credit you can take is a percentage of the total improvement expenses in the year of installation:
  
  2022: 30%, up to a lifetime maximum of $500
  2023 through 2032: 30%, up to a maximum of $1,200 (biomass stoves and boilers have a separate annual credit limit of $2,000), no lifetime limit
  Get details on the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit.
