Tax Incentives

If you plan to make any improvements to your home this year, make sure you check out the new federal tax credits available for energy-efficiency upgrades. The stimulus bill signed in February 2009 not only extends tax credits for efficiency improvements, but also increased the credits, meaning members could get thousands in tax credits if they purchase qualifying products.

Dakota Electric strongly encourages members to consult with their tax adviser or the IRS before beginning a project or making a purchase that may qualify for a tax credit. Dakota Electric is not providing legal or tax advice.
