What do I need to do to qualify for the incentives & IRS Forms?
Under the IRS rules, manufacturers need to certify that specific measures are eligible. Homeowners should obtain a copy of this certification when buying these products from the manufacturer, contractor or retailer. Certifications need not be submitted to the IRS, but should be kept on file in case the IRS has questions. Homeowners should also make notes on when each eligible measure is installed- only measures "placed in service" in 2009 or 2010 are eligible.

I don't think I qualify for the incentive - where can I find information on state-level incentives?
To apply for the incentive, use IRS form 5695. Please note that this version of the form is for 2008, and so does not include line items for the incentives discussed on this page. There will be a section for these incentives on the 2009 iteration of the form which will likely be available in late 2009 or early 2010.
