## Summary

**The UPLIFT Act would create a residential energy expenditures tax credit** that reimburses households for qualifying electricity, natural gas, and propane costs in their principal U.S. home. The credit would have yearly caps, an income-based phaseout, and would only be available when personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation rises more than 2% year-over-year. - Households could claim up to $1,200 per filer, or $2,400 for joint or head-of-household returns, for qualifying residential energy costs. Eligible fuels are electricity, natural gas, and propane used in the taxpayer’s principal residence. - Higher-income households see the credit shrink once modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $75,000 for singles or $150,000 for joint filers, reducing the credit as income rises. MAGI includes certain foreign income exclusions for the phaseout calculation. - Energy assistance payments from federal, state, local, or Tribal programs still count as qualifying expenditures, and any refund or credit under this section is not counted as income or a resource for federal means-tested programs for the month received and the following month. The credit would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025 and only when the PCE inflation trigger is met.
