Home Reno. Tax Credit (how does it work?)

[gildo]

This has probably been discussed before, I tried to search through previous threads so it wasn't Fata but couldn't find anything, my apologies if it's a major repeat....anyways I have no idea how this HRTC works!! I was under the assumption that when I filed my taxes this year there would be a section on there where I could claim my expenses for the deck I built last summer, no luck! I heard something about applying for a grant? I am going to get my basement developed this year and don't want to be left out in the dark again next year without looking into this tax credit, so I guess what I am asking is has anyone done this before and how does it work step by step so I can be eligible for the $1350 max amount you can get. Thanks so much.

I am unfamiliar but isn't this program over?

yep, gone as far as I'm aware.

I could have sworn that was a temporary thing. I seem to recall Home Depot having a big promotion surrounding it about this time last year when it was nearing an end...

EDIT: clearly not quick enough on the draw..

I think the program is over as of last year.

The credit is based on eligible expenses for work performed or goods acquired after January 27, 2009, and before February 1, 2010.
