Tax Credit for Energy Efficient Windows

This is off of the energy star website.  This tax credit expires on 12/31/11

If you had windows installed this year, or are getting them installed before the end of this month, make sure you take advantage of this tax credit. 

 

 

2011 Tax Credit

On December 17, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. Under this law, homeowners may claim a tax credit for the purchase of energy-efficient windows, doors, and skylights.

To be eligible for the credit, windows, doors, and skylight must

• Meet ENERGY STAR program requirements
• Be installed in a taxpayer's primary residence
• Be installed by December 31, 2011

Homeowners may receive a tax credit equal to 10% of the product cost (installation may NOT be included) up to

• $200 for eligible windows and skylights
• $500 for eligible doors

Homeowners may receive no more than $500 total for all energy efficiency tax credits. These caps are also the new "lifetime limits" for the taxable years of 2006 to 2011. If you claimed an energy efficiency credit in a previous taxable year, please consult a tax professional to determine your remaining eligibility for this credit.
