Did you know that the government could pay you simply for investing in your home?

Federal Tax Incentives For Home Improvements

Add a solar water heating or photovoltaic system into your home in the coming year and the federal government could send you as much as $2,000 for your investment as part of a federal tax credit program! To learn about the requirements and download IRS forms for your refund, visit the Federal Government’s Energy Star website.

You can also find information on different tax incentives on the state level by visiting the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy website. By searching your state’s database you may find even more tax credits for home improvements. Projects with refunds available often include upgrading to more energy efficient appliances or home windows.

With the government giving you money to improve your home, there’s no excuse to not look into the options available. Everyone love free money, right? I know I do!
