Tax deduction for 2008 for energy-efficient water heater and furnace?
I purchased an energy-efficient heater hot water and a high efficiency furnace in 2008. Is there a place to claim a credit for these two items? It appears that federal forms only giving credits for solar heating and hybrid vehicles. If you know where to claim a credit for new furnaces and hot water heaters, let me know. Thanks for your response on time!
No appropriations for these items in 2008. Under the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, these are reinstated to fiscal years 2009 and 2010 only.

The credit SKIPS 2008. (Don’t feel bad, I bought a water heater too, but I wasn’t going to wait until after 1/1 as I like hot water to wash my hair….)

The energy credits weren’t valid for 2008. Sorry.
