Other Tax Credits Have Expired, But Not Those For Geothermal

By: Michael King | Category: GeoThermal Energy

Other Tax Credits Have Expired, But Not Those For GeothermalGeothermal is the most efficient energy source available to homeowners in the United States. That’s a sweeping statement, but the facts back it up — and now the tax credits do, too. For every four units of energy a geothermal installation delivers, it consumes one unit of electricity. With a 400 percent efficiency rating, geothermal far surpasses conventional electricity and gas or even green alternatives like solar. Geothermal utilizes a heat pump and the earth’s steady underground temperature of 55 to 65 degrees year-round here in southwestern Florida as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink for extracted heat during summer. The rapid advance of geothermal installations has not gone unnoticed by legislators. While tax credits for other energy-saving devices like air conditioners have been allowed to expire, the 30 percent tax credits for geothermal installations have been extended.

Here’s some of the fine print:

  • The geothermal tax adjustment is a credit, not a deduction. That means it takes 30 percent directly off the amount of tax you owe at the bottom of your federal tax return and puts it back in your pocket.
  • Previously capped at $2,000, there is now no upper limit to the amount of the credit. If the amount of the tax credit exceeds tax liability for a specific year, the balance can be carried over to the next year.
  • The tax credits apply to the entire cost of a geothermal installation, including parts, labor such as excavation and in-house additions like ductwork upgrades necessary to host a geothermal system.
  • The location of the installation may be a taxpayer’s principal residence or a secondary residence such as a vacation home.
  • Water-to-water geothermal systems are covered under the credit as long as they were purchased after Dec. 1, 2009.
  • Taxpayers may apply for the 30 percent geothermal tax credits by completing IRS Form 5695 and submitting it with their annual tax return.
