Question: A list of all homeowners and home buyers tax credits?

I am buying a home in California. It is scheduled to close this month. I know I am eligible for the $8000 tax credit. I also know that there are homeowners tax credits out there such as a credit of up to $1500 (30%) for making the home more energy efficient such as installing new windows.

Are there any Other Tax Credits that I should be aware of? I am looking at doing a lot of work on the house and

Answer: If you plan on purchasing energy efficient windows this year then you may be able to take advantage of a great new tax credit. This credit will be applied against any new window purchasing during the upcoming tax year that qualifies as energy efficient. You could receive a tax credit for up to 30% of your window purchase that caps out at a $1,500.00 credit. The windows must be used from January 1st, 2009 through December 31, 2010 The windows must meet federal guidelines to be considered energy efficient.

New doors, or skylights may qualify as well.

There are a lot of new credits out there but these are about the only relating directly to home improvements and home purchases. Remember that new credit of $8,000.00 must be repaid over the next 15 years. It is essentially an interest free loan.

Question: How does the first time home buyer tax credit work?

My fiance and I bought a house this year so we qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit. I’m just wondering how this works exactly. We are suppose to get a certain amount back according to what we paid for our house. My question is, do taxes get deducted from the tax credit we’d be getting back for the house?

Answer: Assuming that you qualify properly in all other regards for the tax credit, you are eligible to receive 10% of your home’s purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000. You can claim the credit when you file your income tax return for 2009, using Form 5405. Be sure to include copies of your HUD settlement statement as proof of your purchase.

Your taxes will be reduced by $8,000 for 2009′s return. If you do not owe that much, any excess will be refunded to you via the IRS. Understand, however, that the $8,000 refund is considered taxable income for 2010.

Senate Dems split with Obama on transferring tax credits from oil companies to alternative energy

Democrats agree that it’s time to end credits and write-offs in the tax code for the most profitable oil companies, but when it comes to spending the billions that would be added to government coffers if the bill passes, Congress is ignoring President Obama’s call to use the extra money to subsidize alternative energy.

Question: H.R. 6: Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007?

Hi everyone,

Regarding the

H.R. 6: Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

I have been reading in quite a few non-credible places that the solar tax credit (this is all for florda) was just increased;

it WAS up to a maximum of $2000 dollars, but like i said, I have been reading and found that according to this bill, it was increased to $4000.

Is this true?

If so, can anybody PLEASE link me to the bill and which article or something? or paste the text?

I have read summaries of the bill, but they don’t mention anything about it.

I have also looked at the bill in it’s entirity, but it’s a lot of legal jargon so i may very well have missed it.

Any help would be GREATLY GREATLy appreciated.

Thank you soooo much!

Cheers!!
