Energy Credit

Last year, I asked my clients to purchase and install energy efficient improvements by 12/31/10. If you have not yet done so, there is a modified energy credit available for 2011.

In 2009 and 2010, there was a nonrefundable credit for 30% of costs for qualifying residential improvements for heating and cooling efficiency (e.g., windows, doors, installation, and heating and air conditioning systems) up to $1,500 collectively for 2009 and 2010.

For 2011, the credit was reduced to 10% of cost of qualifying purchases up to $500 lifetime credit ($200 for windows). The extended tax credit is in effect for all qualifying systems and products installed during the 2011 calendar year and expires on December 31, 2011.
