Have a question about what this bill does? Ask in plain English; the answer is drawn from the bill's actual text and official record, and it'll tell you when something isn't in the text rather than guess.
This bill increases the limit on the energy efficient home improvement tax credit to $4,000 (from $2,000) for the cost of an electric or natural gas heat pump, an electric or natural gas heat pump water heater, a biomass stove, or a biomass boiler.
Under current law, a taxpayer may claim a nonrefundable tax credit of 30% of the cost, up to $2,000, for an electric or natural gas heat pump, an electric or natural gas heat pump water heater, a biomass stove, or a biomass boiler for a principal residence. (Under current law, taxpayers may also claim a nonrefundable tax credit of 30% of the costs, up to $1,200, for certain other eligible energy-efficient property such that some taxpayers may qualify for a maximum tax credit of $3,200.)
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
