Federal Energy Efficiency and Alternative Energy Tax Credit Round-Up

The US Congress has extended several energy efficiency and alternative energy tax credits in this session. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act includes an extension of the federal tax credit of $2,000.00 for building energy efficient homes through December 31, 2009. Other building tax incentives include:

  • $500 homeowner's energy tax credit for improving the energy efficiency of existing homes for 2009.
  • Commercial Building Tax Deduction until 2013 allowing building owners to deduct up to $1.80 per square foot for energy efficiency improvements.

The bill also includes a new provision for small wind energy which will be of great benefit to our own Bergey Windpower located in Norman. The new federal-level investment tax credit (ITC) is worth up to $4,000 and available for units installed through 2016. The U.S. small wind industry projects that the enactment of this federal credit, combined with a forthcoming equipment certification program, will provide thousands of new jobs and could foster U.S. market growth of more than 40 percent annually.

Solar energy was not forgotten this year with the passage of the Renewable Energy Tax Credit bill which extends the 30% federal tax credit on solar thermal and solar electric systems through 2016. For both solar hot water and solar electric installations, home owners can now receive a full 30% credit toward the tax owed on the entire purchase price of systems installed rather than merely a deduction. Homeowners can apply the credit towards multiple tax years if the size of the credit is greater than the amount of tax owed in one calendar year.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It gets down to select a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.
