  • 1.  solar panel installation tax break

    Posted 04-24-2024 05:05 PM
    Can a "snow bird" install solar panels on the winter home and get a tax break? He owns both homes-and does not rent out either home. He lives in the winter home 4 months/year. The IRS  instructions say "principle residence" qualifies for the tax break. Steve Hansen

    ...lol.. looking for a loop hole to double dip hey...

    Principal or PRIMARY is kind of the interpretation. Putting "games" aside, one always has a primary residence over "the other". I believe that once you put one (solar) on your primary, that's it until you move to another. Then I believe you can claim solar on your "new" location home. Assuming you are speaking about the Federal tax credit, and not some states credit.
