Can you save thousands by going green?
If you look at going green from a tax standpoint you can actually save thousands of dollars simply by greening your life. Good news since everyone seems to think green is so darn expensive. Here’s the scoop…
Purchasing ENERGY STAR approved home products can save you double fold – first of all the average family spends over $2,000 on home energy costs each year. Energy saving appliances can save you up to 30% in costs AND you may qualify for tax credits and some major rebates as well, saving you even more. Lastly you should check with the IRS because many energy improvements qualify for tax credits. Read the Energy Incentives for Individuals in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
If you buy a hybrid car you can save even more on your taxes with the Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit – this credit allows you up to $3,000 depending on the type of car you purchase. Even if you don’t buy a hybrid you can still save oodles on gas and car repairs by driving greener each and every day – which adds up.
Green homes in general can also save you big time as research shows a growth in green home popularity, resale, and worth.
PLUS if you make just three easy green changes today, in ten years you can save $9,000 - learn how!
