Can I Get A Tax Credit for Installing Energy Efficient Windows?
In short, yes. The stimiulus bill of 2009 allows for a $1500 tax credit for the purchase of new windows (NOT INSTALLATION!)… There are a few minor stipulations, but nearly all new windows would qualify. You only get 30% of the purchase price, they must be installed in 2009 or 2010 and they must have a certificate state that they carry a U-factor of 0.30 or less and their Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is 0.30 or less. You’ll need to fill out a form requesting the tax credit that should be available from the IRS by the end of the year.
This credit applies to windows, doors and skylights.
This document is not intended to constitute legal or tax advice. More comprehensive information
will be made available by the IRS. Individuals should consult their own independent tax advisers.
