Mary J asked:


I use green mountain energy co. and they supply renewable energy sources that cut down on pollution, like windmills. Is this considered a tax deduction?
I live in Texas

      No.

      Utility bills on your personal residence are personal expenses and not deductible regardless of who you buy the energy from.

      No, it is not a tax deduction.
