New Project and Website Shed Light on Federal Tax Incentives
Founded by the Alliance, the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy and supporting organizations, the Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP) recently launched a new website providing timely tax credit information.
Consumers, businesses and builders alike may ask, "Do I qualify for an energy efficiency tax credit?"
A new website has their answers. Developed as part of the Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP), the website www.energytaxincentives.org provides timely tax credit information and addresses common questions about qualifying products and services, installation costs, passenger and commercial vehicles and IRS forms.
Founded by the Alliance to Save Energy and ACEEE, and sponsored by a coalition of public interest nonprofit groups, government agencies and other energy efficiency organizations, TIAP provides consumers and businesses critical information on federal income tax incentives for energy-efficient products and technologies. These incentives were passed by Congress as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and amended by subsequent legislation.
