    Advanced Main Circulating Fan

    What the heck is that? You can get a $50 Energy tax credit for it.

    I believe it's a componet of a furnace

    As in the high efficency models.
    In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

      Anybody that.....

      ....has forced air heating and/or cooling systems will have a main circulating fan. I set mine to always "on" because I have a special filtration component.

        Main Circulating Fan

        I had a client from GA who purchased a home south of Atlanta and had an eligible heat pump installed that included air conditioning. I took the $50 credit for him for the fan.
        He had an electric water heater installed--no credit. Only a tankless gas water heater qualifies for the credit. I'm sure plenty of people who do their return will include gas water heaters with tanks.
        Oh well I say:
        'TAX SOFTWARE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR TAX KNOWLEDGE" the theme of the first IRS seminar I attended. That straightened out my thinking with tax preparation. I dont try to attract clients who want something for nothing. They can go fly a kite.

          Hi Billy,

          Are you in Florida for a while now or are you still shuttling back and forth between there and -- Michigan, was it?

          Twenty-five years ago I worked for a big company and my boss sent me a memo to do an accounting task which I thought was idiotic. I folded that note up, stapled it into a miniature kite with a string of paper clips for a tail, and sent it back to him with the unspoken implication that he should go fly it. A perfect reply to a perfectly asinine directive, I thought. Failing, however, to appreciate my quick wit and the inherent humor of my response; he fired me two weeks later (had to first consult with the main honcho who concurred that it was classic and gross insubordination). I run into him every now and then and I've got an idea he's still mad about it (I know I am).

          But...such is life. I immediately went into the tax business and otherwise, I might still be marching to the tune of that dense, doofus, and different drummer.

            I can't figure it out either, Jim.

            I saw a good-sized metal floor model at Wal-Mart today for $41.95 and it looked like it might circulate the heck out of some air (maybe even advancing it 20 or 30 feet or so). Whaddaya think?
