Wait… Before you Enter Tax Season, See These Fischer and Frichtel Tips

Posted by Elizabeth on January 28, 2011

Taxes, taxes, taxes! It’s tax time again. Ever dream of a world without taxes? It existed – 3000 years ago. But, happy dreaming right? We don’t live in that day anymore. Don’t worry though, Fischer and Frichtel can help you out! We have a few ways to make your tax season a little less painful.

Have you made changes in your home in 2010 that were ‘green’ friendly? Maybe you installed some energy star appliances. Or, maybe you bought a brand new home in 2010. Either way, you qualify for a tax credit.

Saving money on utility bills is not the only perk that you will receive for going green in your home. You will also get a tax credit equal to 30 percent of the cost, up to a maximum of $1,500 of the products you installed. Qualifying jobs include the installation of insulation, energy efficient windows and doors, water heaters and roofs, among other things that had to have been installed in your home by December 31, 2010 to qualify.

Also, as we noted in an earlier blog this past year, many settlement costs and mortgage points are deductible in the year in which they’re paid when buying a new home. So, if you cashed in on those tax breaks in 2010 by buying a home, your tax return will look great!

Just remember, for products “placed in service” in 2010, you need to file the 2010 IRS Form 5695 and submit it with your 2010 taxes (by April 15, 2011). Bring in your receipts from the alliances and services used in the installation process.

Not qualified to cash in on those tax breaks from 2010? Check out this link of what is included in the 2011 tax credit. You have all year to take advantage of the credit and making your home more efficient. There are great incentives for not only current home owners, looking to upgrade, ‘go green’ and save on energy bills, but also for new home owners. Let Fischer and Frichtel get you into your new, energy-efficient home in 2011. Contact us today at www.fandfhomes.com.
