artp Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Taxpayer is building a 50x50 ft. structure next to his existing residence. This structure will include a completely finished living abode-kitchen, bath, bedroom ect and will also service as a garage, workshop and storage area. The living abode will meet all codes requirements for a dwelling unit as he plans to use it as a residence for an elderly family member. If he decides to install a geothermal heating/cooling system in the structure will it qualify for 30% energy credit? My concern is that although the structure may meet the definition of “dwelling unit” he may not meet the test “used as a residence by the taxpayer”. I would welcome your input on this as I have never had this situation before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Could the elderly relative qualify as his dependant, once he moves in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
