Tax Credit for Manufactured Home Skirting: Up to $500 Refund for Energy Costs.

This law establishes a new refundable tax credit for owners of manufactured homes (built after 1976) who install skirting—weather-resistant material enclosing the space beneath the home. The goal is to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. Citizens can claim 20% of the expenses, up to a maximum of $500, provided they meet specific income limits.
Key points
A new refundable tax credit covers 20% of the costs of installing weather-resistant skirting on a manufactured home, capped at $500.
The credit is refundable, meaning taxpayers can receive the amount as a refund even if they owe no federal income tax.
Eligibility is limited to primary residences and taxpayers whose income does not exceed $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers).
These changes take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
