Common questions

Is the quiz really free?
Completely. The quiz and your personalized estimate are free. The detailed action plan with step-by-step instructions is $39 — and we'll refund you if the credits don't exceed what you paid.
What about state programs that aren't open yet?
We track HOMES and HEAR program status in every state. If your program is waitlisted or coming soon, we show you exactly how to get on the list and what to prepare. Sign up for our free alerts and we'll email you the moment things change.
Why are rebates so confusing right now?
Recent legislation created billions in new rebate programs, but each state runs them differently — some are open, some are waitlisted, some haven't launched. Eligibility depends on income, home type, and specific equipment. It's a lot to figure out on your own.
How accurate are the estimates?
We show confidence levels for each credit. High-confidence items are based on clear eligibility rules. Medium and low confidence items depend on details we'd need to verify. We always show conservative estimates.
Can I see what the action plan looks like before buying?
Yes! Check out our sample report to see the full format — step-by-step instructions, direct links to forms and portals, time estimates, and deadlines for each credit.
Is this tax advice?
No. Rebate Scout is an informational tool. Every credit links to the official IRS or state program source. We recommend consulting a tax professional for complex situations.
Which states do you cover?
Federal credit analysis works for all 50 states. State-specific rebate programs are tracked in detail for 25 states including TX, CA, FL, CO, NY, MI, WI, IN, and more — with new states added regularly.
