It should be understood that a tax
credit is generally more valuable
than a tax deduction of the same
magnitude because a tax credit reduces
the tax obligation directly, while
a deduction only reduces taxable
income. Therefore the reduction
in tax is only a fraction of the
deduction.
While it is expected to take many
months for the IRS to release the
updated forms and instructions for
filing to claim this credit, it
is expected that the credit will
be treated as a refundable credit,
so they not only directly reduce
the amount of tax payable, they
could bring a taxpayer’s tax
obligation into the negative.
A tax credit of 10% of the total
investment is also available without
a maximum credit limit for commercial
installations.

environmentally clean, and cost-effective
space conditioning system available,
according to the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Alternative energy, wind, solar,
geothermal heat pump and other new
technology are changing the energy
landscape worldwide. These technologies
are leading to job and investment
growth everywhere. The future is
looking cleaner and brighter by
