Key Points

This bill would bring back and extend several tax credits tied to energy production, energy efficiency, and clean vehicles that were changed by a prior law.
It would keep tax breaks for building clean electricity projects like wind and solar, including some rules aimed at ending or limiting those credits.
Homeowners could keep getting a tax credit for home clean energy (like solar) longer, with the credit rate stepping down after 2032.
People buying clean vehicles and used clean vehicles could keep qualifying for federal tax credits through 2032 under the bill’s timelines.
For some home efficiency upgrades, you would have to list a product ID number from a participating manufacturer on your tax return to claim the credit.
