<div>Alan,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I have always defaulted to that
advice also. Just last week, after I had told a customer a 30% ITC is still
available and told him to confirm that with his tax advisor to be sure he could
take full advantage of it (some folks have to take the 30% over a couple years),
he came back to me and told me his tax person said it was no longer
available! I was so glad he told me this so I could straighten it out (and
get the job of course). </div>
<div> </div>
<div> This issue did get rectified but it
has made me think of providing a copy of the pertinent page(s) from the IRS
related to the ITC to future potential customers, <em>and</em> give them the
advice of speaking to their tax person.</div>
