Question: How can I find out about Obama’s rebate program for replacement windows. I live in Florida?

I remember reading that there was a rebate or tax credit for homeowners who install energy saving windows or storm windows.
Come on guys, I’m not here to debate the goods or bads of Obama, I just want an answer to my question.

Answer: If you haven’t installed them, just ask the people you’re buying them from. Some qualify, others don’t.

If you already have them, call the people who installed them and ask if they qualify.

Vinyl Replacement Windows – Tax Savings on Energy Efficient Vinyl Windows

Question: Will there be any energy tax credits in 2011?

I need to replace windows and change my furnace soon. I understand that there’s a total of $1500 tax credit for 2010. Will one of these energy purchases be offered in 2011?

Answer: At this time the above mentioned credit is supposed to expire December 31 2010.
As of this time September 15 2010 0500 hours. Your guess would be as good as any one Else’s our great educated elected officials are still doing their natural things and prolonging the decisions and creating more problems for the tax forms and any possible changes to the income tax rules until after the elections and maybe into the next year 2011 before the finish making all of the necessary decisions that should have already been made..

Question: Poll Tax, if I dont pay it can I still claim Working Tax Credits?

Will it afect my state pention when I retere in 5 years time?

Answer: You mean Council Tax and non payment doesn’t affect credit, benefits, or anything really.

However, you could be imprisoned. Many boroughs are doing committal orders again.

Bear in mind, once a Liability Order is awarded at court, the Authority has the power to send in bailiffs, take money from your earnings or benefits, make you bankrupt or put a charging order on your house.

But benefits or pension? No, it won’t affect them.

How to Claim $8,000 Tax Credit

After several years, your old entry door may begin to look shabby and it is time to buy an new door. Part of the aging of your door has to do with its function. It is by nature, required to keep out the external weather. In the heat, the door withstands the sun’s rays. During the winter it protects your home form the cold, rain and snow. These constant changes in the external conditions begin to wear on the door, and wood doors especially begin to show their age.

While doors are dependable, after many seasons of rain and sun, they may warp, bow or even crack. Wood fibers have been soaked and dried repeatedly they begin to loose their flexibility, the door may start to drag and cracks appear.

Over time, doors have change greatly, especially during the past few years. While at one time wood was the only option, now there are many options for doors. Doors can be made of wood, steel, fiberglass or composites.

Today, unless you are shopping for the bare minimum door, you will more than likely purchase an entry system rather than just the door. This system consists of a door that has been pre-hung in the frame. The bottom of the door interlocks into the threshold. The entire door is circled in weather-stripping. Even the lockset and hinges are included in the entry system. Some entry systems come with sidelites that flank either side of the door. The point of the system is to prevent air leaks that keep your home energy efficient.

If it has been a while since you last bought a door, you may be surprised to find that choosing the material your door is made of is no longer as simple as it once was. Doors may appear to be wood doors, but actually may have a steel interior. Alternately, doors made of wood may have a steel exterior. Both steel and fiberglass doors often have a wood frame. Nearly all doors have a foam core for insulation.

No matter what the core, most doors are classified according to their surface materials. The choice of what that surface is made of often has a large impact on the cost of a door. They also have a big impact on the durability, appearance and security of the door.

Doors may also be classified by their appearance. Doors that are flat on both sides are called flush, while those with rectangular recesses are called paneled. If you have ever been in a home built before 1950, you have probably seen some of the original paneled doors. The panels were originally used to prevent doors from warping or cracking. Windows sometimes replace one or more of the panels. These windows are called doorlites.

You will also find many types of patio doors. These doors incorporate lots of glass so that you can view what is happening on the patio.

A panel door that has all the panels replaced with glass is called a terrace door. If two terrace doors are hinged in the same frame, they are called French doors. Patio sliders are usually one large sheet of each of two doors. One is fixed and the other slides to bypass it.

Question: I need your advise-Window and Central A/C replacement in 2007.?

In Year 2007, I spent $3,000 to replace the windows and $3,500 to replace the central A/C. They had been replaced in order to improve the energy efficiency. And, now I have a few following questions about how to claim these expenditures on my tax return form (5695).

(1) $3,000 includes the labor and window parts together. I have the invoice, but it doesn’t differentiate between the labor cost and parts. Do I have to differentiate between these two? My understanding is that only the window part is qualified for this credit while labor cost is not.

(2) What is the maximum credit will I get? Am I going to get a credit of $200 for the window replacement and $300 for the central A/C replacement? In total, will I be able to get $500? Can I carry forward any unused amount into future years? Or, is this credit available only for the years 2006 and 2007?

Your generous input is greatly appreciated.

Answer: This is a 2006-2007 credit only.
If you got $500 in 2006, there’s none left to get in 2007.

You are probably safe on the windows.
The central A/C had to meet efficiency standards (top of the line models only).

Split Systems:
EER >=12.5
SEER >= 15

Package systems:
EER >= 12
SEER >= 14

That part of the credit was a flat $300.
