Latest action on H.R. 1441: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who own or use a home in the United States and want to install a water filter for drinking water. It matters most for households worried about lead, PFAS, or PFOA in their water. It would also affect tax preparers and the Internal Revenue Service, because they would need to handle and verify the new credit.

Why this matters: This bill could make home water filters cheaper for people who are worried about lead and PFAS in drinking water. It tries to support cleaner drinking water through a tax break instead of a new rule. The real effect would depend on how many people buy qualifying filters and claim the credit. It would not fix public water pipes or water treatment systems, and it would not cover the ongoing cost of keeping filters working.

Key provisions in H.R. 1441

• The bill would add a new water filter tax credit for individual taxpayers to the federal tax code. It would be called the water filtration credit.

• A taxpayer could use no more than $2,500 of this credit in one tax year.
• If the credit is more than the yearly limit, the unused amount could move to the next tax year.
