This incentive allows Arizona taxpayers to deduct the cost of converting an existing wood fireplace to a qualifying wood stove, a qualified wood fireplace, or a qualified gas-fired fireplace. The cost to purchase and install all necessary equipment is tax deductible, up to a maximum $500 deduction. Qualifying wood stoves and fireplaces must meet the standards of performance for new wood heaters manufactured after July 1990, or sold after July 1992 pursuant to
40 Code of Federal Regulations part 60, subpart AAA. This deduction is for taxable years after December 31, 1993.
