siding energy tax credit

[supeheterdyne]

It was reported that siding installed before June 17, 2006 could qualify for the new
energy tax credit. Has anyone seen anything more definitive about this?

The kiplinger newsletter said in this week's issue that the IRS was closing the loophole
for siding and limiting the credit to $500.

Siding Energy Credit

Read IRS Notice 2006-53. This notice is a furthur clarification of IRS Notice 2006-26 Section 4.04 which deals with siding and the energy credit.

Thanks to jimmcg. I recommend that all preparers access Google and enter
IRS notice 2006-26 which provides further details of the requirements of the energy tax
credit. Also IRS notice 2006-53 can be accessed through Google which states
that siding does not qualify for the credit but siding purchased on or before June 26,
2006 can qualify IF the manufacturer CERITIFIES that the siding meets the
requirements.
