Are Water Saving Toilets Tax Deductible?


by DoItYourself Staff

Many newer homes already come with water saving toilets, yet older homes do not. In 2009, the Government passed a law that gives some home improvements that make your home more eco or efficient, you can use it as a tax deductible. Here is a guide on how to replace your old toilet for a newer water saving one, and how to get a tax deductible from it.

Check What Brands & Models Are Listed As Tax Deductible

You should be able to find a list somewhere or ask a store clerk. Not every single brand or model will be listed as tax deductible, so you will want to make sure you buy a qualified one for the deduction.

While you are looking around, you may also want to consider replacing your faucet and shower if you can afford to.

Compare Prices On The Models

Once you know which ones count as tax deductible, you should do some price comparing for the best deal. If you can, you will want to keep your out of pocket cost as low as possible. How much you spend, may or may not count on how much you will get back. So if you wish to find out, contact someone or an accountant on the guidelines.

Once you have bought one, keep the receipt for proof for when you file your taxes.
