The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020, extends the federal tax credit for geothermal heat pump installations through 2023. Residential credits will remain at 26% of the total installation cost through 2022, stepping down to 22% in 2023. The credits will expire on January 1, 2024.
Credits for commercial installations will remain at the current level of 10% through 2023. The new law also makes permanent the Section 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction of the federal tax code, affording substantial financial benefit for commercial building owners.
