Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, Leonard.  Thanks for your reply!

 

But to be clear, there are two different questions in this thread -- and I think you were answering the other one.  The one I am interested in is the following:

 

Can I include in the total $s of solar credit for 2019 taxes, the cost of both (a) solar company's invoice for equipment and labor to install the system and (b) an arborist's invoice (about $3K) for major trimming of the surrounding tree area (but not tree removal).  (a) is for sure yes; the question is really about (b).  I understand tree removal as that's theoretically permanent.  The tree trimming is necessary to create better sun coverage for the panels at initial installation.  But will need to be performed every 4 years to gain back that coverage as the trees grow out again.

 

Please advise.

thx,

Doug
