cpabsd Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Several clients want the credit for purchasing energy saving light bulbs. I do not see this as part of the Residential Energy Credit. Am I missing something? TTB nor 1040express answers addresses light bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Several clients want the credit for purchasing energy saving light bulbs. I do not see this as part of the Residential Energy Credit. Am I missing something? TTB nor 1040express answers addresses light bulbs. It goes on the line right below the credit for corn burning stoves. Urban myths, or sales pitch myths, die hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainen Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 >>the credit for purchasing energy saving light bulbs<< These were introduced with various rebates offered through local power companies. Let 'em down gently, like "you can't take the credit for non-business property." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Locally, they have those lightbulbs for $3.49, but PG&E (our local electric company) was giving a rebate (at the counter no less) so you could buy them for $0.99. I bought 30. They last longer and use less energy. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jainen Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 >>the small print<< How many tax preparers does it take to screw in a light bulb? It used to be one out of three, but now they can't do it at all unless it's more likely than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 If someone in your home or office gets migraines or has epilepsy or other seizure disorders, do NOT use the florescent bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
