More than 750 Iowa homeowners will lose an average of $3,200 each after lawmakers failed to extend a tax credit for solar energy systems.
The homeowners qualified for the credit when they bought their systems, many in 2020, and had legally applied for the tax breaks, said Tyler Olson, a former Democratic state representative who runs a company that sells mostly commercial grade solar energy equipment.
“I’d be upset if I were on that list,” Olson said. “They met the criteria to qualify for that credit. Then the Legislature decided after the fact to take away the credit.”
