Energy Tax Credit

Definition of 'Energy Tax Credit'

An energy tax credit is given to homeowners who make their homes more energy-efficient by installing energy-efficient improvements. There are both federal energy tax incentives and state rebates. A tax credit is more valuable than an equivalent deduction because a credit reduces the tax dollar-for-dollar whereas a deduction only removes a percentage of the tax liability.
