$1500 Tax Credit

Question: I still have not recived a birth certificate for my 5 month old.?

We live in Alberta Canada, We filled out the paper work in the hospital, but nothing has come in the mail yet, I want to file for my child tax credit but it says you need a birth certificate or a record of birth, but we did not get anything, What should I do? Or is this normal for it to take this long?

Answer: I don’t know about Canada… but in California, we have to actually go to our county records office and apply for a birth certificate. I thought I had filled something out in the hospital, but for us, that was for a social security number. I was so tired at the hospital, I didn’t know WHAT was going on!

Is it possible you need to go somewhere to get it? Perhaps the paperwork you filled out in the hospital was for something else? I’m just throwing out ideas…

5 Great Tips for Your 2009 Tax Return

Question: Can the 1500 tax credit be combined for multiple home improvements?

For example can I get 1500 for replacing $8K worth of windows with appropriate windows and another $1500 for upgrading to a 16+ seer ac unit, and $1500 for insulation upgrades or is it all maxed out at $1500 total.

Answer: Maximum of $1500 total combined credit.

Note, this maximum is for the entire program. So if you get the full $1500 this year (2009), you can’t claim another credit for improvements in 2010, even though the program is still going, because you would have already maxed out your credit for the entire program.
