Year-end tax planning tip #1 - Energy Saving Home Improvements

Don't forget that a tax credit worth up to $1500 is available if you make certain energy-saving home improvements before the end of the year. I mentioned this in a post earlier this year. The credit is available for both 2009 & 2010 so you won't miss out completely if you wait until next year. But if you are already planning to make eligible improvements, then why not make them by the end of 2009 and get the credit sooner?
