What’s New  
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021:  
1. Extends the residential energy efficient property credit to  
qualified biomass fuel property costs on line 5, and provides  
definitions in these instructions.  
Association or cooperative costs. If you are a member of a  
condominium management association for a condominium you  
own or a tenant-stockholder in a cooperative housing  
corporation, you are treated as having paid your proportionate  
share of any costs of such association or corporation.  
2. Extends the 26 percent residential energy efficient  
property credit rate to property placed in service in 2021 and  
2022.  
3. Disallows the nonbusiness energy property credit for a  
stove which uses the burning of biomass fuel on line 22a, and  
we deleted the related definitions from these instructions.

income, you must reduce your cost for the product by the  
amount of that subsidy before you figure your credit. This rule  
also applies if a third party (such as a contractor) receives the  
subsidy on your behalf.  
4. Extends the balance of the nonbusiness energy property  
credit to property placed in service in 2021.  
Residential Energy Efficient Property  
Credit (Part I)  
Purpose of Form  
Use Form 5695 to figure and take your residential energy  
credits. The residential energy credits are:  
If you made energy saving improvements to more than one  
home that you used as a residence during 2021, enter the total  
of those costs on the applicable line(s) of one Form 5695. For  
qualified fuel cell property, see Lines 7a and 7b, later.  
The residential energy efficient property credit, and  
The nonbusiness energy property credit.

You may be able to take a credit of 26% of your costs of  
qualified solar electric property, solar water heating property,  
small wind energy property, geothermal heat pump property,  
biomass fuel property, and fuel cell property. Include any labor  
costs properly allocable to the onsite preparation, assembly, or  
original installation of the residential energy efficient property  
and for piping or wiring to interconnect such property to the  
home. The credit amount for costs paid for qualified fuel cell  
property is limited to $500 for each one-half kilowatt of capacity  
of the property.  
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

occupants.  
These rules don't apply to married individuals filing a joint  
return.  
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).

Corporation or a comparable entity endorsed by the government  
of the state in which the property is installed. The home doesn't  
have to be your main home.  
Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit  
(Part II)  
You may be able to take a credit equal to the sum of:  
Qualified small wind energy property costs. Qualified small  
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.  
1. 10% of the amount paid or incurred for qualified energy  
efficiency improvements installed during 2021, and  
2. Any residential energy property costs paid or incurred in  
2021.  
Qualified geothermal heat pump property costs. Qualified  
geothermal heat pump property costs are costs for qualified  
geothermal heat pump property installed on or in connection  
with your home located in the United States. Qualified  
However, this credit is limited as follows.  
A total combined credit limit of $500 for all tax years after  
2005.  
A combined credit limit of $200 for windows for all tax years  
geothermal heat pump property is any equipment that uses the  
ground or ground water as a thermal energy source to heat your  
home or as a thermal energy sink to cool your home. To qualify  
for the credit, the geothermal heat pump property must meet the  
requirements of the Energy Star program that are in effect at the  
time of purchase. The home doesn't have to be your main home.  
after 2005.  
A credit limit for residential energy property costs for 2021 of  
$50 for any advanced main air circulating fan; $150 for any  
qualified natural gas, propane, or oil furnace or hot water boiler;  
and $300 for any item of energy efficient building property.  
If the total of any nonbusiness energy property credits  
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  
value of the fuel). Biomass fuel means any plant derived fuel  
available on a renewable or recurring basis.

Subsidized energy financing. Any amounts provided for by  
subsidized energy financing can't be used to figure the  
nonbusiness energy property credit. This is financing provided  
under a federal, state, or local program, the principal purpose of  
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  
a fuel cell stack assembly and associated balance of plant  
components that converts a fuel into electricity using  
Qualified energy efficiency improvements. Qualified energy  
efficiency improvements are the following building envelope  
components installed on or in your main home that you owned  
during 2021 located in the United States if the original use of the  
component begins with you, the component can be expected to  
remain in use at least 5 years, and the component meets certain  
energy standards.

Joint occupancy. If you occupied your home jointly with  
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  
kilowatt of capacity of the property. The amount allocable to you  
for qualified fuel cell property costs is the lesser of:
