Deductions & credits

Can't say that I would advise that; the solar company sells solar panels; they are not tax people;)   Does she already run a business from her home and file business tax returns?   She can only depreciate the portion of her home used in business, and that requires filing business tax returns.  

 

US Department of Energy information for each is below.   

 

Homeowner information on the Solar Credit - this credit reduces her tax liability and any unused portion can be carried over to future years until it is exhausted.  

Business information on the Solar Credit - - there are 2 credits for businesses; the investment credit works just like the solar credit for homeowners (see article above).
