Tax Tips: Energy Efficient Home Benefits

Source: radio.foxnews.com - Tuesday, January 31, 2017
If you go green, the IRS will reward you with some green. FOX’s Carole Zimmer with a ‘FOX News Radio Tax Tip’: If you made your home more energy efficient, the government wants to give you something. I’m Carole Zimmer with your FOX News Radio Tax Tip. Let’s say you have a house and you install solar panels or a geothermal heating and cooling system. Fred Slater is a CPA at MS 1040: (Slater) “It’s a tremendous savings and the government gives you a credit for installing it. It’s not a deduction, it’s a credit against your taxes.” The credit is equal to 30 percent of the amount you spent on that energy system. Tax credits provide a dollar for dollar deduction of your income tax liability, that means a $1,000 tax credit saves you $1,000 in taxes. For more Tax Tips follow FOX News Radio on Facebook .
