Alan,
I have always defaulted to that advice also. Just last week, after I
had told a customer a 30% ITC is still available and told him to confirm that
with his tax advisor to be sure he could take full advantage of it (some folks
have to take the 30% over a couple years), he came back to me and told me his
tax person said it was no longer available! I was so glad he told me this so I
could straighten it out (and get the job of course).
This issue did get rectified but it has made me think of providing a
copy of the pertinent page(s) from the IRS related to the ITC to future
potential customers, and give them the advice of speaking to their tax person.

"Consult your tax advisor"...
Jesse, any advice you give your customer other than the words above could get
you into trouble. We're solar installers, not tax advisors. I always pass the
buck on this kind of question.
