Anybody know anything about taxes?

Question. I live in a mobile home. Last year I built a roof over on it. Does this qualify for the energy credit? I saw where it said insulating, and that's the main purpose of a roof over is to keep the heat off the trailor roof. I'm just not quite sure if this would qualify. It defines it as "Insulation systems that reduce heat loss or gain" It sounds like it would, but just wanted to clarify.

Thanks.

I agree, that guy is a tool!

I am sure someone will be able to help out, but remember you are on an audio forum, lol!

With that said, I don't have a clue if it will or not.

I know you can claim home improvements which this would likely fall under. Not sure if you could claim it as an energy credit, somebody smarter than I would have to answer that.

I dont see why you couldnt claim that. You made a home improvement and did something to conserve energy.

Thanks guys. I know this is a car audio forum, but there are many different people from many different occupations, and out of all of them, somebody has to know.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But thanks for your help. And to the guy that said taxes are illegal, tell that to the IRS when you don't file!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Where is flip when you need him.

 

[faulkton 5,000+ posts]

yeah it counts.

It would count, but I would question whether or not you have enough credits to go above and beyond the standard deduction unless it is a credit you can take without doing the long form, like the lifetime learning credit.

How much did it cost to put the roof on?

I hand my papers to someone and say "do my taxes" -- it's like staring into the abyss for me to read tax rules and regulations.
