Client purchased a solar panel for their primary residence and brought in a sample forms from a entity called the Solar Tax Center. They claim the typical 26% solar tax credit. In additional there's also a Sch. C and a Form 4562 with zero income, but depreciation of 87% of the total cost of the solar panel over 5 years, interest expense and legal/professional fees. The reasoning behind the Sch C is that you need to report the Net Excess Generation of the solar panel as business income.
I tried to do research on this and have found nothing. This feels like a marketing scam on the part of the solar panel sellers. Has anyone encountered this?
