Extended Federal Furnace and AC Rebate Program
First, please understand that DOE does not provide tax advice. The Federal personal income tax credit for energy efficiency installations is administered by the Internal Revenue Service. Should you have further questions after reviewing this email, please contact the IRS or a qualified tax advisor.
Congress did extend the Federal personal income tax credit for high efficiency HVAC equipment through 2016, and also retroactively for 2015.
