The Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers generous energy tax credits to consumers and businesses that purchase fuel efficient cars and/or energy efficient items for their home. Homeowners can receive a tax credit up to $500. Homeowners that purchase and install certain energy efficient products for their home such as; windows, exterior doors, heating and cooling systems, water heaters, storm doors, insulation, etc. (see chart for more information) prior to the end of the year will be eligible for the tax credits. The energy tax credit program is scheduled to end December 31, 2007. So HURRY up and ACT now! A tax credit is more beneficial than a tax deduction. A tax credit reduces your actual tax amount due “dollar for dollar”. A tax credit can provide substantial savings to the homeowner.
