Energy Saving Steps – Save Big on Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service today reminded individual and business taxpayers that many energy-saving steps taken this year may result in bigger tax savings next year. The recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) of 2009 contained a number of either new or expanded tax benefits on expenditures to reduce energy use or create new energy sources. The IRS encouraged individuals and businesses to explore whether they are eligible for any of the new energy tax provisions. More information on the wide range of energy items is available on the special Recovery section of IRS.gov. For a larger listing of ARRA’s energy-related tax ...
How to Choose a Tax Consultant
Anyone can claim they are a tax consultant-and many do, even those without solid credentials. When choosing someone to help you with tax problems, look carefully at experience and credentials: How long have they been in business? There are tax consultants who practice without the support of an experienced staff. The Incline Group has a staff of professionals that have been solving tax problems since 1985.

The old rules allowed taxpayers to receive 10 percent of the price of certain energy-efficient products, up to a lifetime maximum of $500. President Barack Obama expanded the credit with the recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Now, consumers can get 30 percent of ...
2009 Stimulus Package: What’s In It For You — and When
There's good news ahead for most taxpayers. President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law February 17 -- a new economic stimulus bill that gives tax breaks to a large portion of Americans of all ages and income levels, as well as to businesses. Note: The changes won't affect the 2008 tax returns that individual taxpayers are filing now, except in a very small number of cases. So most taxpayers can file now, and not miss out on the new tax breaks that begin this year. However, owners of small businesses might want to act now to advantage of ...
