Subject: Energy Cost Recovery Surcharge Credit

The Energy Cost Recovery Surcharge Credit is a nonrefundable credit that is based on an itemized surcharge (maximum $3 per month) that appears on residential electric bills as "renewable energy surcharge" charges. This credit is available to both homeowners and renters who have paid electric bills for the tax year they are claiming the credit and have actually paid the renewable energy surcharge.


Those who qualify for the credit must have a gross income equal to or less than $65,000 for single/married filing separate and $130,000 for joint filers.

The maximum nonrefundable credit allowed is $3 per meter for 2009, $7.20 per meter for 2010 and 2011. This nonrefundable credit is equal to 25% of the annual surcharge for 2009, and 20% of the annual surcharge for 2010 and 2011.

 

Information about the nonrefundable Energy Cost Recovery Surcharge Credit and the refundable Energy Efficient Qualified Home Improvement Credit is available on Treasury’s Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,1607,7-238-43513_44135-215777--,00.html.
