Tax Forms
Form 5695 is the form you’ll use when filing federal taxes to figure and take your residential energy credits.
Here are links to the current form and instructions. If you have further questions about filling out your form, please direct them to your tax preparer or accountant. Iconic Energy is not in a position to give tax advice.
Federal Solar Tax Credits
UPDATE JULY 2025 – Congress has passed a bill eliminating the residential tax credit at the end of 2025. Residential systems installed and operational by December 31, 2025 will still qualify for the tax credit.
The solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for solar panel systems installed on residential and commercial properties. See our article ‘How Does the Federal Tax Credit Work?’ for an explanation of what it is and how it works.
The ITC is currently a 30% federal tax credit for new solar installations.
