Time is running out to save up to $1,200 on upgrades by claiming a tax credit on next April’s taxes. But there’s still time to take advantage of this valuable opportunity. To claim the credit, your work must be completed by December 31, 2025.
Our schedule for the rest of the year is filling up quickly. This guide explains why year-end timing matters and how to secure your spot before it’s too late.
Why Year-End Timing Matters for Your Tax Credit
Understanding how the tax credit timeline works helps you see why completing your project before the end of the year makes financial sense.
How Tax Credit Timing Works
The insulation tax credit is tied to the year your work is completed—not when you pay for it or when you file taxes.
Here’s the Timeline:
- Work completed in 2025
- File your 2025 taxes in April 2026
- Claim your credit when filing
- Reduce your tax bill immediately
If you complete work by December 31, 2025, you’ll claim your credit just a few months later when filing in April.
Understanding the Insulation Tax Credit
Before you can benefit from year-end timing, you need to understand what the tax credit offers and what qualifies.
What You Can Save
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit still allows you to claim 30% of qualifying insulation and air sealing costs for this year, up to $1,200.
Tax Credit Basics:
- 30% of eligible materials
- Maximum $1,200 this year
- Labor doesn’t qualify
- Professional installation required
- Must owe federal taxes to benefit
This federal tax credit reduces your income tax dollar-for-dollar. If you owe $2,000 and claim a $1,200 credit, you’ll only pay $800.
What Qualifies for the Credit
Most insulation and air sealing work qualifies, but understanding the details helps you plan your project correctly.
Qualifying Work:
- Attic insulation upgrades
- Wall insulation improvements
- Basement and crawl space insulation
- Air sealing throughout your home
- Must meet specific R-value requirements
Only the cost of materials qualifies—not labor. However, you must use a professional contractor to claim the credit at all. DIY work doesn’t qualify.
Required Documentation
To claim your credit, you need proper documentation from your contractor. This is where working with experienced professionals matters.
What You Need:
- Itemized invoice showing eligible costs
- Product specifications and R-values
- Proof of professional installation
- Contractor license information
- Completion date within the tax year
At Millers, we automatically provide all required documentation. We know exactly what you need for a successful claim.
