I found this on another forum. Mine was installed this fall?

There is a $300 federal tax credit for biomass fuel stoves (used for heat or water heating) placed in service between January 1 and Dec 31, 2009. The stoves must have a thermal efficiency rating of at least 75%.


The law defines "biomass fuel" as any plant-derviced fuel available on a renewable or recurring basis, including agricultural crops and trees, wood and wood waste and residues (including wood pellets), plant (including aquatic plants), grasses, residues, and fibers.

Are you asking if you qualify for this tax credit? Or just letting everybody know that it exists?

The window for this tax credit is for 2009 only. The poster from the other forum is correct. The energy credits that expired at the end of 2007 have been renewed for 2009 along with some changes. This has been added:

(F) a stove which uses the burning of biomass fuel to heat a dwelling unit located in the United States and used as a residence by the taxpayer, or to heat water for use in such a dwelling unit, and which has a thermal efficiency rating of at least 75 percent.'.

Also this:

(g)This section shall not apply with respect to any property placed in service
(1) after December 31, 2007, and before January 1, 2009, or
(2) after December 31, 2009.
