Water Heater Tax Credit 2009 and 2010
Tankless Water Heater Federal Tax Credit
Energy Efficient Water Heaters can save you up to 30% - maximum of $1500.00 on your taxes in addition to year-round savings on your energy bill.2009 signifies the return of the federal tax credit for non-solar tankless water heaters under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which expired at the end of 2007. This successful program was extended under the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008". The act re-establishes tax credits for purchasing and installing energy efficient home improvements, such as a Tankless Water Heater.
Improvements made in 2009 will be claimed on your 2009 taxes (filed by April 15, 2010) — use IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version) — it will be available late 2009 or early 2010. Improvements made in 2010 will be claimed on your 2010 taxes (filed by April 15, 2011) — use IRS Tax Form 5695.
For more information on the bill, check out the U.S. Department of Energy website.
What is a tax credit?
A Tankless Water Heater Tax Credit is not received when you buy the product, like an instant rebate. A Tax Credit on Water Heaters is claimed on your federal income tax form at the end of the year. The credit then increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount paid in.
Tax credits vs. tax deductions.
In general, a tax credit is more valuable than a similar tax deduction. A tax credit reduces the tax you pay, dollar-for-dollar. Tax deductions – such as those for home mortgages and charitable giving, for example – lower your taxable income.
If you are in the 30 percent tax bracket, your income tax is reduced by 30 percent of the value of a tax deduction. But a tax credit reduces your federal income tax by 100 percent of the amount of the credit.
