Energy Efficient Dishwasher/Washer Dryer

[jasdlm]

The only tax credit I can find for these energy efficient appliances is for manufacturers. What am I missing? Several clients have come in asking about this. I have gone to the energystar.gov sight,etc., and I can't find anything.

Any confirmation/contradiction of the above information would truly be appreciated.

Energy efficient appliance purchasers get their rebate from the manufacturer.....if there is a rebate deal going on.

Thank you. So many people had asked (actually, asserted that they were to receive a credit) that I thought I must be missing the big boat.

Thanks again!

A lot of the states have a credit for the appliance.

In Virginia, there is a rebate program available through the state department of mines, minerals and energy. Different appliances result in different amounts of credit, and I believe the program is funded through federal money so I think that other states have similar programs although I am not sure of that. The link for information about Virginia's programs is My link I found it by googling Virginia energy rebate, I think. Hope this helps.
