The base Residential Clean Energy Credit for 2024 is 30% of the cost. 30% of $23,000 = $6,900.
Because the credit is nonrefundable but can be carried forward, and Harper and Jacob’s tax liability is $7,000 (greater than $6,900), they can claim the full $6,900 on Form 5695. Their tax after the credit would be $7,000 − $6,900 = $100.
(If they qualify for any bonus adders under the law (e.g., domestic content or other incentives), the credit could be larger — this answer assumes only the base 30% applies.)
