Schedule: percent of basis deducted in each tax year (separate with spaces or semicolons) Starting values are invented. The invented schedule is not an IRS table. The SAM option is the schedule that NREL's SAM help page prints for its 5-year MACRS choice (page undated); check any schedule against IRS Publication 946 before use. The basis share starts at 0. Enter the share your tax adviser gives you; this page does not set it. The credit itself is not counted as a benefit here. Cash flows fall at the end of each year. This is not tax advice. Type 2500, 2,500 or 2,500.5; 2.5 and 2,5 are read as decimals.
