Fed slow walking solar tax credit refund?
Luckily I managed to get my rooftop solar panels operational just before the December 2025 deadline for the federal tax credit. I filed my taxes in February claiming the solar tax credit, resulting in a five figure refund. After four weeks, I got a notice saying I need to confirm my identity to the IRS, so I promptly did so on a gov website. I decided to call the IRS and ask what the story was with the delay. The rep told me that the earliest I would receive my refund was June 1, but if there were any issues in addition to identity, it probably wouldn’t be until the end of the summer until I got my refund. Given the hostility of the current administration to green energy I am wondering if the solar tax credit tax refund is being deliberately slow walked. Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation?
