Don’t forget about your home and vehicle electrification upgrades this tax season! While you should consult with a tax advisor about the specifics of your return, Rewiring America gathered some helpful information to point you in the right direction. They connected with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for how to best prepare for electrification tax credit returns and the big takeaways from their conversation include:

• A homeowner should review IRS Form 5695 to confirm whether their 2025 electrification projects qualify, verifying the project type, efficiency requirements, that the improvements were placed in service in 2025, and keep invoices and manufacturer certifications to support the claim. Folks looking for the EV charger tax credit should look for IRS Form 8911.
• Taxpayers should gather all relevant documentation, including contracts, manufacturer certifications, invoices, and proof of payment, when preparing their tax return. This documentation is required to complete IRS Form 5695, which must be attached to the tax return to claim the credit.
• It is recommended that taxpayers research reputable sources and fully understand the requirements associated with their electrification projects. The IRS may audit and deny the credit if the projects do not meet eligibility, record-keeping, or timing requirements. A denied credit results in additional tax due and may also trigger interest and penalties.

While the majority of federal home electrification tax credits expired on Dec. 31, 2025, there are still tax credits available for home and business electrification!

The United States Supreme Court decided on Feb 23, 2026, to review last year’s Colorado Supreme Court ruling that allowed the City of Boulder and Boulder County’s climate accountability case to proceed—granting Exxon Mobil and Suncor entities’ petition to hear the case.

The City of Boulder and Boulder County’s case seeks to hold the oil companies responsible for knowingly contributing to climate change while concealing the dangers of their products. In its May ruling last year, the Colorado Supreme Court concluded that “federal law did not preempt Boulder’s claims and that those claims could therefore proceed under state law.” In their petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, the companies claimed that federal law shields them from state-level accountability for in-state harms. The Supreme Court will now consider the companies’ bid for immunity.

The grant comes as the realities of climate alteration continue to mount for Colorado. Colorado is one of the fastest-warming states and continues to experience injuries associated with rising temperatures. The City of Boulder and Boulder County face high and rising costs to address the impacts of climate change—costs that would otherwise fall on local taxpayers. Their lawsuit aims to ensure that the corporations that caused the harm pay their fair share, rather than shifting the burden to Colorado communities.

The decision could potentially hinder the wave of climate litigation the country has seen in recent years. However, if the Supreme Court rules against the defendants, that could be a boon for climate accountability cases.
