The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the (IRC Sec. 25C) nonbusiness energy property tax credit through December 31, 2011 – one more year. However, stricter rules apply for 2011 than for 2010.
A taxpayer can claim a 10% credit for “qualified energy property” placed in service in 2011 up to a $500 lifetime limit. Oh yes, you have to reduce the $500 by any credits you claimed previously.
The credit for residential energy property expenditures are limited to:
(i) $50 for an advanced main circulating fan;
(ii) $150 for any qualified natural gas, propane, or hot water boiler;
(iii) $300 for any item of energy-efficient property (with no more than $200 from windows and skylights)
My take: Are you kidding?
