Beginning in the 2022 tax year, the following credits will no longer be available to claim:

Your last chance to claim these credits is on your 2021 tax return. Some of these credits will have the option to be carried forward until the amount of the credit is exhausted or the carryforward period expires, whichever comes first.

All qualifying items for the Alternative Energy System Credit, Geothermal System Credit, and Energy Conservation Installation Credit must have been purchased and installed in 2021 to be eligible for that tax credit.
