Thank you, I was misled.Solar company told me in 2022 I would get $10.000 back and I could use it to pay down my solar loan or keep it. Looks like I'm not gonna get a dime cause I usually don't owe.

@Ponyboy123 2 месяца назад

It's not based on if you owe on your taxes it's based on your tax liability. For example if you have a tax liability of $10,000 and you receive $2,000 back each year with the solar credit of $10,000 you'll receive $12,000 back. If your tax liability is lower than $10,000 you won't receive it all in one year but you can continue to roll it over. Hope this helps

I loved your video, I was able to understand most of the information. I would have loved if you could have a visual presentation with form 5695. I appreciate your free advice to watch out for solar venders. Thanks!!!

@MrPreet23 4 месяца назад

can you please clarify 30 percent federal solar tax credit if its on the total value of net installation cost or minus Renewable Energy Credit ? For example if the installation cost without any incentive is 30 k and then you get energy credit 15K ... is 30 percent calculated on 30 k or 15k for federal tax credit ?

Does the Federal Energy Community Tax Bonus Credit (10%) apply to single-family homes, if the home is located in a qualifying area?

@alexcolombu1025 4 месяца назад

Are you asking if you can personally claim the credit as an individual, the answer is no. This is meant for projects and facilities that operate in energy communities as defined by the IRS not the actual homes in that community.

@NguyenCPAs 5 месяцев назад

Have you taken advantage of this credit yet? It's been around for years!

@KentP-rw9zf 3 месяца назад

Would I qualify for the federal tax credit if I pay a 3rd party (Plastiq) with a credit card and then Plastiq issued a check on my behalf to the solar company? Note I am the owner of the panels.

@bhaumikpatel9616 4 месяца назад

Hi Ryan! I have purchased solar few years(2022) back and used/claimed the fed solar tax credit. But want to add some more solar panel on the same home(primary resi)now(in 2024) since the previously installed one is not enough. Can I still get/claim federal solar credit for the ADDITIONAL solar system investment on the same home?

@alexcolombu1025 4 месяца назад

If they are two separate systems then yes you can claim the tax credit for 2024 also. But if it is the same system, the credit can only be claimed once. In your case, it is a yes as in you can claim additional tax credit for the new panels.

@bhaumikpatel9616 4 месяца назад

Yes. What does it mean when the solar loaning company says you can pay them with your credit to keep the payments low on the solar loan

are portable panels and a power station (with 3k battery setup) eligible for tax credit?

@thedude5040 13 дней назад

@waitam5014 20 дней назад

I have a question and hope someone can help me with this. I understand that in order for the cost of the battery to be eligible for the tax credit, the battery needs to have a storing capacity of 3000 or more wh. so, could I buy like 2 Ecoflow delta max that has 2000 wh each but 2 would put me at 4000. would that still work, or would it has to be from one unit?

Does all the solar equipment have to be brand new?

@thedude5040 13 дней назад

@johnfitbyfaithnet no, but good luck finding an installer willing to install used equipment. I never pull permits and just DIY everything so i wouldnt be afraid of used equipment for the right price, but I'm an electrical engineer and know what I'm doing.

Our bill just jumped huge in NorCal. I have no choice for solar.

@thesolarsage851 5 месяцев назад

Why do you say that you have no choice for solar? Too much shade or do you rent? My team has helped many homeowners with solar in NorCal.

@thedude5040 13 дней назад

@user-hl1gm1rw3q you can just stick $40k cash into a high yeild interest savings account and use the monthly interest to pay your electric bills

@user-gx8pc7qp9r 3 месяца назад

I withdraw $20000 from my 401k account last year and invested into a solar system for my house. Will the solar tax credit offset my tax liability for my 401k withdrawal?

@thedude5040 13 дней назад

@user-gx8pc7qp9r OMG!!!! Why TF would you do that!!???? Lol of course you will have to pay tax penalties for the withdrawal if you are not of the proper age. Even if you are the correct age you WILL owe taxes on the gains of that $20k. You will first pay taxes on that withdrawal then subtract credits. Depending how old you are, the credits will not be enough to cover income tax and penalties

@kayrealist9793 5 месяцев назад

How long does the solar tax credit keep carrying forward? Forever till you have a tax liability??

@giovannilopez3254 5 месяцев назад

yup

@thedude5040 5 месяцев назад

Why invest in solar panels when the sp500 out preforms solar. I just put $20k into a money market account and the monthly interest pays off the electeic bill.

@devonthompson9922 4 месяца назад

Because you're paying that money either way? This literally doesn't make any sense lol

@thedude5040 4 месяца назад

@devonthompson9922 you have alot to learn about money. The reason to invest money in anything other than solar panels is liquidity. In ten years when I move, I can take my investments with me. If I have my money in solar panels then I have to hope the next person is willing to pay money for the panels on the house. Not to mention panels are a depreciating asset unlike the stock market.

@devonthompson9922 4 месяца назад

Funny you say I have a lot to learn about money but you don't understand net present value lol

@@thedude5040 Panels aren’t for everyone as peoples have different situations. But a family that’s struggling to pay high electric bills don’t have 20k cash to invest and can actually take advantage of a fix solar payment instead of the forever increasing electric bill. While also depending on the market they live in add value to their home.

What if you get a refund on your tax return? Do you still get the dollar amount of your tax credit from solar panels?😊

@NguyenCPAs 5 месяцев назад

You may. It depends. If your tax refund (before solar credits) is less than your total liability, you may still receive more of a refund for your solar Tax credits

@62orbetter4 5 месяцев назад

I am retired and have no earned income. I have a $9000 tax credit from my solar panels. So I took a $10,000 from mine Aira and transferred into my Roth Ira. I’m showing $10,000 of extra income on my tax return.will that work in this scenario? Can I take the 8000 9000 tax credit and apply it to a Roth transfer. Not earned income.
