[RE-wrenches] Tax credit question.

[Bob-O Schultze]

IMHO, the best tax guys are 51% honest and 49% lying, cheating crooks. Better than the average politician. 
Yep, you can get away with anything and everything until or unless you catch an audit. Then it becomes a question of you making an "honest" mistake -in which case you just get to pay through the nose- or whether they think you are a genuine crook- in which case you get to share a new home with Bubba...

Methinks you are correct on the form Bob-o; our clients bean counter must use some clever definitions of "main"

I see on the dsireusa.org website that it says that the PV system does not have to be on your primary home, but my reading of this form would seem to indicate otherwise. It defines a home as:
> Home. A home is where you lived in 2012 and can include a house, houseboat, mobile home, cooperative apartment, condominium, and a manufactured home that conforms to Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards.

> Main home. Your main home is generally the home where you live most of the time. A temporary absence due to special circumstances, such as illness, education, business, military service, or vacation, will not change your main home.
