“It may be your last chance to snag a tax credit for making green home renovations or buying an electric vehicle, or to partake in other popular tax breaks that are expiring at year-end 2013 if Congress doesn’t act to extend them.
Get an electric vehicle. A tax credit for certain 2 or 3 wheeled electric vehicles expires at year-end. A separate tax credit of $7,500 is available for 4-wheeled electric vehicles including the 2012-2014 Ford Focus Electric, the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi, the 2013 Ford C Max Energi and the 2011-2012 Nissan Leaf and will be phased out once a manufacturer’s has sold 200,000 vehicles.
Donate conservation property. Through year-end conservationists who donate property or easements on their property to conservation organizations like the Nature Conservancy or a local land trust get an enhanced tax break that’s helped modest-income landowners; these enhancements are good through year-end.”
