## Summary

**A new water filtration tax credit** would subsidize home filtration systems that remove at least 90% of lead, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from drinking water. It aims to lower the cost of installing certified filters in primary and secondary residences. - Families and households: Individual taxpayers would get a credit equal to 20% of qualified filtration spending for systems in a primary residence. The credit applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 and is limited to $2,500 per year. - Owners of secondary or vacation homes: A 10% credit would apply to qualified filtration spending for non-primary residences. The $2,500 annual cap applies across primary and non-primary claims. - Eligibility and tax rules: A "qualified water filter" must remove at least 90% of lead, PFAS, and PFOA and excludes maintenance or replacement parts. Claiming the credit reduces the property's tax basis by the credit amount and any excess over $2,500 can be carried forward to the next taxable year.
