I recently had a customer tell me their vacation home is not eligible
for the tax credit. I cannot find any reference excluding part-time
residences from the ITC, and have had several customers take the
credit in this situation. Does anyone know of a link where the rules
pertaining to part-time residences are spelled out clearly? Thanks.
