Tax Credit Criteria Home Development
There are a few criteria that must be met to qualify for a tax credit on a home improvement project:
The energy upgrade must be placed in service from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2010. The IRS defines “placed in service” as when the property is ready and available for use. Improvements made in 2009 will be claimed on your 2009 taxes (filed by April 15, 2010). IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version) will be used to claim the tax credit.
The energy upgrade must be for the taxpayer’s principal residence. Other residences used by the taxpayer can also qualify for tax credits when geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters, solar panels and small wind-energy systems are installed.
The maximum total amount that can be claimed for all products placed in service in 2009 and 2010 for most home improvements is $1,500. Geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters, solar panels, fuel cells and small wind-energy systems are not subject to the $1,500 cap.
