Question

Furnace replacement.

I had to replace the furnace in my house, and was wondering if I can claim that as a major purchase? Thanks.

No.  Major purchase is misleading.  Later on the program will clarify that for the sales tax deduction, the only thing you can add to the standard amount is purchase of a motor vehicle, aircraft, new home, or major renovation to a home.  

However, if the furnace meets energy efficiency standards you may qualify for a 10% credit up to $300.

How do I know if the new furnace is energy efficiency standards?
