Summer Home Upgrades and Kids’ Activities May Bring Tax Benefits

Certain home improvements and children’s activities during summer may qualify for tax credits. Energy-efficient home upgrades such as solar water heaters, energy-efficient windows, and AC units may be eligible for clean energy or energy efficiency tax credits. Additionally, parents who pay for summer day camps or childcare may qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Credit. A tax professional can help determine eligibility for these credits and document expenses properly. Home Energy Credits: IRS Home Energy Tax Credits.
