Re: Green Tax Credit Guide

What a disappointing little article- so typical of the content on Fine Homebuilding recently. First off, it has not been updated since November of 2009, so it is seven months out of date on the legislative history. More importantly, it does not cover all of the areas where the tax credit is available- skipping high efficiency furnaces, for one thing. It does almost nothing to tell builders or homeowners what paperwork they need to qualify for the credit. Do you need the plumber to sign off on paperwork for a high efficiency furnace? Does the window installer have to certify that the windows were installed? With no links to state or federal websites to speak of, this is the worst sort of "mailed in" article that I would expect from Better Homes and Gardens or something... Not FH. I could put together more useful content with 20 minutes of internet research.
