What is the 45L Tax Credit?
Also known as the Energy Efficient Home Credit, the 45L Tax Credit is a federal incentive designed to encourage the construction of energy-efficient homes. This credit rewards eligible contractors and developers who build or significantly retrofit residential units to meet specific energy efficiency standards. Recently extended through December 31, 2032 by the Inflation Reduction Act, the 45L Tax Credit now offers substantial benefits for eligible contractors.
The 45L Tax Credit is available to eligible contractors who own and have a basis in the property during construction or substantial reconstruction. Key details include:
- Credit Amount:
- Single-Family and Manufactured Homes: $2,500 for homes certified to eligible ENERGY STAR program requirements.
- Multi-Family Homes: $500 base credit, increased up to $2,500 when prevailing wage requirements are met.
- A larger credit of up to $5,000 is available for homes certified to DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) Program.
- Eligible Properties: Single-family homes, multi-family buildings (including high-rise structures), and manufactured homes can qualify.
