<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The current tax stimulus plan calls for a <a rel="lightbox" target="_blank" href="http://energystar.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/energystar.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2928"><strong>30% tax credit, up to  $1,500</strong></a>, for consumer’s who install energy efficient tank or tankless  water heaters, furnaces and boilers in 2009 or 2010. If you qualify, <strong>you  get a credit against the tax you owe</strong>, not just a deduction from  income.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In typical fashion for anything tax related, you have to dig into the details  to be sure you get the tax credit. Most of the products HPS Plumbing carries will qualify. We’ll let you know your options, but don’t be afraid to  ask questions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You can check out all the tax credit details at the <a title="Energy efficiency tax credits Bakersfield CA" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index');" href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=find_a_product.showProductGroup&amp;pgw_code=WH" target="_blank">Energy Star website</a>. Here are some highlights from that  site:</span></p>
<ul style="list-style-position: outside !important;">
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The product must be placed in service from January 1, 2009 through December  31, 2010.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Must be for taxpayer’s existing principal residence (some geothermal and  solar products placed in second homes qualify);</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">$1,500 is the maximum total amount that can be claimed for all products  placed in service in 2009 &amp; 2010 (for most home improvements). However,  married people filing&nbsp;separately can both claim the $1,500 tax credit, as long  as both claim separate expenses.</span></li>
</ul>
