Qualifying For Inflation Reduction Act Savings

One of the few things that all residents in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area can agree on is that they are ready for a few financial breaks. While the cost of everything is increasing, wages remain the same or even decrease in some professions. But thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, households across the country could be getting some relief in the form of tax breaks and rebates. In addition, the program is designed to encourage consumers to make more energy-efficient choices that will save them money in the future and help protect the planet.

Ways To Go Green And Save Green

One of the significant tax credits offered to consumers is up to a $7,500 tax credit for purchasing a new electric vehicle. There are a few criteria that must be met, such as an income limit of $150k for an individual and $300k for a couple, a vehicle cost of under $80,000 for an SUV, van, or truck, and $55,000 for any other vehicle. And if a new EV is not in the budget, there is also an opportunity to get up to $4k in tax credit for a used electric vehicle that is no more than two years old and meets the program criteria.

While installing solar panels on your home is not a cheap project, it can be much more affordable with the 30% tax credit for a solar panel installation. This tax credit covers many of the components of a solar system for your home, including the cost of the installation, building permits, inspections, and other fees. In addition to this amazing tax credit, you will also enjoy lower electric bills or even no electric bills if you create enough power to meet the needs of your entire home.
