Federal Tax Credits: Energy Efficient Windows & Doors
Tax legislation released in December of 2011 includes a reduced tax credit for windows, doors, and skylights, including a 10% tax credit of up to $200.00 for Energy Star windows and skylights and 10% credit up to $500.00 for Energy Star exterior doors.So, if you purchase $4,000 worth of windows and doors with upgraded glass and insulation, you will get a 10% tax credit of up to $500, making the real cost of your windows and doors only $3,500 ($200 maximum for windows only, $500 maximum for energy efficient windows and doors). The cap is on the total amount of credits a homeowner may claim between 2006 and 2011, not just for 2011. If a homeowner has already claimed $500 or more in credit through this allowance, they will be unable to claim new credits for improvements made during 2011.
