Remodelers, educate yourselves about these forms so you can help clients claim the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 federal tax credit for projects they completed last year that meet the parameters for the credit.
Your clients need to fill out IRS form 5695. The information from this form should be transferred to form 1040. Homeowners need to keep the manufacturer’s product certification and receipts on file, but do not need to submit those items with their tax forms.
