This personal tax deduction allows taxpayers to deduct the interest paid on loans used to purchase energy efficient products or equipment for a residence in California. The deduction is for loans from a publicly-owned utility company for the purchase of energy-efficient heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, lighting, solar, advanced metering of energy usage, windows, insulation, zone heating products, and weatherization systems. Customers of publicly-owned utility companies that do not offer customer financing may be able to deduct the interest from a home equity or home improvement loan used to purchase energy efficient products and equipment. Publicly-owned utility companies must issue a federal income tax Form 1098, or similar form, to notify their customers of their eligibility for this deduction. Furthermore, this deduction may not be taken if a tax credit is taken for the purchase of the energy efficient equipment. Contact the IRS for more information.
