Tax deduction for new air conditioning/heating unit?

How do I find out if the new air conditioning/heating unit we installed last year is tax deductible?

Re: Tax deduction for new air conditioning/heating unit?

You mean the sales tax? A new air conditioner is not on the IRS list of "major purchases" for the sales tax deduction.. but I would probably keep track of how much you paid for tax benefits that can occur when you sell the house.

Or do you mean its energy efficient? If thats what you mean, it goes on Form 5695. The IRS specifies which items can apply for this credit - look here to see if yours does. Typically if you got it installed, the contractor would know.
