Having Tax Hotline is like living next door to a tax expert. Members get quick, honest answers to their tax questions. Tax Hotline offers clear explanations of any tax implications for personal and business financial decisions, no matter how routine or complex the situation. Members know the tax impact of buying a home instead of renting an apartment. They'll learn how much of their child-care expenses are tax-deductible. They'll have the information they need to decide whether they can afford to set up a home office. From a tax perspective, they'll know how to time the sale of stock or other appreciated assets. If it involves their money, it probably involves their taxes, and Tax Hotline will give them the advice they need.
Tax Hotline members can get the expert advice needed to save money now and for the future. They can call as often they’d like, with any number of questions. There is never a charge for phone time, and confidentiality is guaranteed.
Take a good look at it.
Consumers who purchase and install specific products in existing homes can receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost up to $1,500, for improvements “placed in service” starting January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. There are a number of tax credits available to consumers and homeowners for making your home more energy efficient.
The tax credit is good for such purchases as:
Many of the most energy-efficient appliances cost more initially, but they'll save you money in the long run. Expect to keep most major appliances between 10 and 20 years. A more efficient appliance soon pays for itself. Lower monthly utility bills over the lifetime of the appliance will more than off-set a higher purchase price. In addition, the latest resource-efficient clothes washers and dishwashers not only save electricity, they also use a lot less water and can reduce your water bill.Insulation
