Why cant I claim my solar tax credit?

How does IRS verify solar credit?

The IRS verifies solar tax credit eligibility by assessing whether taxpayers meet specific criteria established under federal law. The solar energy system must be installed at a qualifying property, such as a residential or commercial building, and used to generate electricity.

What disqualifies you from a solar tax credit?

You must own the system: To use the tax credit, you must purchase the solar panels with cash or a loan. You will not get the tax credit if your solar panels are installed through a solar lease or a power purchase agreement (PPA) because you are not the owner of the system. You must have taxable income.

What documents are needed to claim solar tax credit?
