Tax Tip: Install insulation

 

Energy Tax Tips


You can save money on your utility bills and get a tax credit by insulating your home.  The insulation must meet the 2000 IECC and have at least a 2 year warranty.  Your tax credit is 10% of the cost (not including installation), up to $500.  To qualify, the work must be done during 2009 – be sure to get a manufacturer’s certification and use IRS form 5696.
