New Tax Credits At-a-Glance
| Effective Dates: |
The new credits are available for qualifying products
that are "placed in service" between January 1, 2009 and
December 31, 2010. |
| Amount of Tax Credit: |
30% of the installed cost of
qualifying equipment, up to a maximum of $1,500 total for
2009 and 2010 combined. If a qualifying tax credit does
not total $1,500, the unearned portion of the tax credit can
be earned at a later time with a separate qualifying
purchase (until 12/31/2010). |
| How to Claim Tax Credit: |
Specific information on how to claim the tax credit
should be obtained directly from the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service. Manufacturer’s Certification Statements are
provided for your records and to support your Tax Credit
claims for these systems. Have your installing contractor
circle or highlight the system installed in the home. |
Do all ENERGY STAR®
products qualify?
 |
No, not all. The minimum efficiencies
for this new tax credit are higher than the minimum
requirements to qualify for the ENERGY STAR designation.
Some ENERGY STAR equipment meets tax credit minimums; some
does not.
Check the manufacturer's certification statement
carefully to be sure. |
