I felt sad to learn about this information this late. I should have had a door and window replacement so that I can have a tax credit. I was actually planning to have a house repair right after New Year. If only I knew about this earlier I should have had it before December. Is it possible to have tax credit for next year? Can you please give an update about this information? I’d be very delighted to know.
