Roofing Spokane- Can You Get The $1500 Energy Star Tax Credit?


How is your Spokane roof?  Considering replacing it?

Uncle Sam will pay $1500 of the cost until December 31st, 2010.

You may get up to 30%of qualified material costs up to $1500.

The roof is required to be Energy Star compliant.  Ask your Spokane contractor what qualifies.

You can only claim the cost of materials.  Installation costs don’t count.

By the end of the year, the roof must be completed.

Use IRS form 5695, an easy form with just 3 questions and some easy math.

$1500 is the maximum credit you can take and also includes claims for other home energy-efficient improvements, so, for example,if you also installed an Enery Star window, for example, you can add those costs with your Spokane roofing for additional credit.  However, it’s a maximum of $1500 for BOTH, not each.

Any credit taken in 2009 contracts the credit available in 2010.

The credit reduces your tax liability, even if it causes you to get a refund.
