We built a new house in 2023. We paid extra for a heat pump. Can we amend our 2023 return to take advantage of the tax credit?

    The Home Energy Credit allows for you to claim your heat pump (if it qualifies) up to $2,000, or 30% of the total cost. To see if it qualifies, please see:

    Generally, this credit is nonrefundable. This means that you can't get back more on the credit that you owe in taxes.

    If you already filed your 2023 return without it, you can amend your return to include the Home Energy Credit.
