Subject: Tax Credits are back for Energy Efficiency Improvements The Government Giveth and taketh away, AND giveth back again. All, It has been brought to our attention ( by our next CSI star Mark Neu) that buried in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, passed by the last Congress at their New Year’s Eve session, was a provision to renew for 2013 the energy efficiency tax credits that had expired the end of 2011 and, to make them retroactive. This means that there is a federal income tax credit of up to $500 for qualifying building envelop improvements and qualifying heating, cooling and water heating equipment, including air to air heat pumps, insulation, and windows purchase in 2012 or 2013. The credits are for residential property and there are a number of limitations on the eligible equipment and products. Check out this link for more details; http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=US43F Since the credits had expired for 2012 and are now being made available retroactively you may want to notify members who installed qualified air to air heat pumps last year of the renewed availability of the credit. The 30% federal income tax credit for renewable energy systems such as geothermal heat pumps and wind systems did/has not changed and is available for installations thru 2016. If you have any questions please contact me. Tom Tom Holt Mgr. Member Services and Marketing
