Replacement Window and Door Tax Credit

Extra Incentives to Replace Your Worn-Out Windows and Doors

Do you have worn-out, energy inefficient, unattractive windows and doors?

Are they eating you up with maintenance, or even rotting out or falling apart?

Do you just want an updated, attractive appearance, and at the same time enjoy added comfort, lower fuel bills, and less maintenance?

THERE MIGHT NOT BE A BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO ACT!!

Today there’s even more reason to improve your home’s energy efficiency with windows and doors, and solve the other issues you may have at the same time. As part of the recent stimulus legislation (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) residential and federal tax credits are now available through the 25c – Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credit when you purchase qualifying windows and doors. While this tax credit is an extension of a 2007 program that required ENERGY STAR as the minimum performance, the requirements for qualifying products for 2009 have changed. For related tax advice, please consult your tax advisor.

Eligibility, the windows and doors must have a u-value and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to or less than .30 to qualify. AAA Windows and Doors will fit the appropriate window brand, with qualifying glazing and frame systems so that you can take advantage of this program. The products must be used to improve an existing home. This tax credit does not apply to new homes. The windows and doors must be “placed in service” between January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. “Placed in service” is defined as when the property is ready and available for use. The structure must be the taxpayer’s primary residence.

The label identifies high-efficiency products that currently qualify for the Energy Star, but will not meet the more stringent requirements that go into full effect April1, 2010

Credit Amounts:

  • Receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost of qualifying products, excluding installation, up to $1,500. Qualified Until March 31, 2010
  • Advisory : New Year , New Numbers
  • For more Information please visit: www.energystar.gov

Claiming the Tax Credit:

  • Step 1: Purchase qualifying windows and/or doors.
  • Step 2: Retain the receipts that show the cost of the qualifying products (without installation charges) and save each NFRC and/or Energy Star label on each window or door. Keep these with your tax materials.
  • Step 3: Keep the manufacturers certification statement with your tax records.
  • Step 4: Submit the claim with your taxes for the year the windows and/or doors were installed.
  • Step 5: Always consult your tax advisor.
