Transcript

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.

Energy credit for home improvements is still on the table. HVAC, windows, insulation, and energy-efficient property improvements are subject to annual limitations, but you still have them on the table.

It’s very important, but you do need the receipt and the manufacturer certificate to prove they meet IRS code. That’s the important part.

A lot of times people come in and say, well I got a new AC unit. Okay, we need the receipt. We need to see, did it really meet the energy credit, or was it just a new unit that was cheaper and not able to meet those criteria?

If you need help with this, just go to the web at drfriday.com.

You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
