With tax season coming up, we are getting inquiries about how the
federal tax credit works.
My reading on what little info the IRS has is that the 30% credit can be
taken only on your actual out of pocket expenses - that is, full cost of
the system minus any other rebates, incentive, or grants.
But a few of our customers are telling us that they are being told by
some that the full 30% credit applies no matter what other incentives
they might get. That does not make sense to me, but I can find nothing
on the IRS site or anyplace else that really addresses that issue.
Does anyone have some actual documented info on this?
