Can I claim my window tinting cost($1,100) on this form? I don't see anywhere says Window tinting or "Others". I use turbo tax by the way. Hope to see your answer before the deadline. Thank you.
No. The windows have to be replaced with Energy Star rated units.
Thanks for your response! I got confusing search results from Google. By the way, I've been watching many of your videos. Great work putting everything together. I am very impressed and recommend your channel to other friends. @@TheTaxGeek
Can residential clean energy credit be claimed for qualifying items installed as part of a home’s original construction? We purchased a brand new home where builder installed solar panels during home construction.
What would have to happen is that the cost of the solar panels would have to be separated from the price of the house by the builder, and that separate transaction reported by the builder (or the builder's subcontractor) to the IRS in your name. If you've already purchased the home, this is unlikely. If you were having a custom home constructed, and directly dealt with the contractor installing the panels, it wouldn't be a problem, as there is nothing saying you can't use this credit for panels installed as part of a home's construction.
I live in California and recently replaced my AC/heating unit in my townhome with an energy saving gas unit. Can I get a tax credit?
Yes, but not through this program. The credit you may be eligible for is covered here: ua-cam.com/video/IXe1VURZGpk/v-deo.html
I hope you are still planning to throw a video out once a month during the tax season if you have the time.
Oh yes, videos will be released throughout the tax season and beyond.
So the salesperson lied to me I wouldn’t get 10000 back with my tax return
Yes, unfortunately salespeople will tell people anything to make a sale. But salespeople aren't tax people and by the time you're doing your taxes they're long gone.
@@TheTaxGeek truth! I’m discussing everything with his manager… apparently he’s no longer with the company as of November
