property credit carryforward from 2020 or to carry the unused
portion of the credit to 2022.
Who Can Take the Credits
You may be able to take the credits if you made energy saving
improvements to your home located in the United States in
2021.
Home. A home is where you lived in 2021 and can include a
house, houseboat, mobile home, cooperative apartment,
condominium, and a manufactured home that conforms to
Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standards.
Qualified solar electric property costs. Qualified solar
electric property costs are costs for property that uses solar
energy to generate electricity for use in your home located in the
United States. No costs relating to a solar panel or other
property installed as a roof (or portion thereof) will fail to qualify
solely because the property constitutes a structural component
of the structure on which it is installed. Some solar roofing tiles
and solar roofing shingles serve the function of both traditional
roofing and solar electric collectors, and thus serve functions of
both solar electric generation and structural support. These solar
roofing tiles and solar roofing shingles can qualify for the credit.
This is in contrast to structural components such as a roof's
decking or rafters that serve only a roofing or structural function
and thus do not qualify for the credit. The home doesn't have to
be your main home.
You must reduce the basis of your home by the amount of
any credit allowed.
Main home. Your main home is generally the home where
you live most of the time. A temporary absence due to special
circumstances, such as illness, education, business, military
service, or vacation, won't change your main home.
Costs. For purposes of both credits, costs are treated as being
paid when the original installation of the item is completed, or, in
the case of costs connected with the reconstruction of your
home, when your original use of the reconstructed home begins.
For purposes of the residential energy efficient property credit
only, costs connected with the construction of a home are
treated as being paid when your original use of the constructed
home begins. If less than 80% of the use of an item is for
Qualified solar water heating property costs. Qualified solar
water heating property costs are costs for property to heat water

for use in your home located in the United States if at least half
of the energy used by the solar water heating property for such
purpose is derived from the sun. No costs relating to a solar
panel or other property installed as a roof (or portion thereof) will
fail to qualify solely because the property constitutes a structural
component of the structure on which it is installed. Some solar
roofing tiles and solar roofing shingles serve the function of both
traditional roofing and solar electric collectors, and thus serve
functions of both solar electric generation and structural support.
These solar roofing tiles and solar roofing shingles can qualify
for the credit. This is in contrast to structural components such
as a roof's decking or rafters that serve only a roofing or
structural function and thus do not qualify for the credit. To
qualify for the credit, the property must be certified for

Example. Taxpayer A owns a house with Taxpayer B where
they both reside. In 2021, they installed qualified fuel cell
property at a cost of $20,000 with a kilowatt capacity of 5.
Taxpayer A paid $12,000 towards the cost of the property and
Taxpayer B paid the remaining $8,000. The amount to be
allocated is $16,670 ($1,667 x 10 (kilowatt capacity x 2)). The
amount of cost allocable to Taxpayer A is $10,002 ($16,670 x
$12,000/$20,000). The amount of cost allocable to Taxpayer B
is $6,668 ($16,670 x $8,000/$20,000).

You may be able to take a credit equal to the sum of:

wind energy property costs are costs for property that uses a
wind turbine to generate electricity for use in connection with
your home located in the United States. The home doesn't have
to be your main home.

Qualified biomass fuel property costs. Qualified biomass
fuel property costs are costs for property which uses the burning
of biomass fuel to heat a dwelling unit located in the United
States and used as a residence by the taxpayer, or to heat water
for use in such a dwelling unit, and has a thermal efficiency
rating of at least 75 percent (measured by the higher heating

which is to provide subsidized financing for projects designed to
conserve or produce energy.
Qualified fuel cell property costs. Qualified fuel cell property
costs are costs for qualified fuel cell property installed on or in
connection with your main home located in the United States.
Qualified fuel cell property is an integrated system comprised of

components that converts a fuel into electricity using

someone other than your spouse, each occupant must complete
his or her own Form 5695. To figure the credit, the maximum
qualifying costs that can be taken into account by all occupants
for qualified fuel cell property costs is $1,667 for each one-half

for qualified fuel cell property costs is the lesser of:
