Federal Tax Credit on Windows and Doors
The new Stimulus Package or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has established the qualifying level for windows and doors at a U-Factor of .30 or less, and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of .30 or less.
To qualify with an Earthwise window for federal tax credit, the residing homeowner must do the following:
- Purchase a qualifying Earthwise window. The Earthwise window must have a U-Factor of .30 or lower and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of .30 or lower.
- Make the purchase and install the qualifying windows and door products between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.
- Achieve all other requirements specified in the ARRA 2009, Stimulus Package.
- Collect Sales receipts, NFRC, Energy Star and/or Manufacturers Certification labels or test result and maintain with all other tax information.
- Claim only the cost of the products as the federal tax credit does not apply to the installation cost of the products. This will require that your contractor/dealer provide you with a product only invoice or receipt.
- Remember that the federal tax credit is for 30% of the product purchase only with a maximum credit of $1500.00 total for 2009 and 2010.
- Make sure you claim the tax credit for your purchase on your federal taxes for the 2009 and/or 2010 tax filing.
