I will apologize in advance for venting
I have been beating my head against the wall since having my taxes done last Friday, I built a new home and spent the money buying energy star appliances, heating equipment, wood burning insert, and have set up for solar HW just not complete yet and I get nothing from my state ( Maine ) or government for any of this. I know I know tax credits right? Well I for one refuse to let the IRS use my money all year interest free and put a lot of effort into making sure we come out a wee bit ahead and not having to pay at the end of the year, which gains me nothing for being concerned about the environment or my wallet VERY FRUSTRATING.
If our government really wanted us to become less dependent on fossil fuels they would offer real incentives instead of tax credits. I chose to drive an 01 truck for another couple years so that I could drop the coin on SHW and get started on a wood boiler, just who benefits from tax credits people lousy with money who can afford the 400k home, new cars and green equipment for the home?
