Q: What does the homeowner need to do to claim the credit?

A: Upon completion of the installation, the homeowner should keep a copy of the contractor's invoice and copy for each piece of qualifying equipment of the Manufacturer's Certification Statement. Homeowners will need to file IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version) with their tax return. The 2009 version of this form will be available late 2009 or early 2010.

  1. Is there a template the manufacturers should use to meet the requirements of a Manufacturer's Certification Statement? Will a down loadable spec sheet suffice?

  2. I've not forgotten about you. I'm still looking for a sample for you, but you may want to go directly to AHRI to see if they have one.
