Replacement Window and Door Tax Credit FAQs
Windows, skylights and exterior doors that meet the ENERGY STAR rating.
2. How much is the tax credit?
The tax credit is $200 for replacement windows and skylights and $500 for exterior doors. The maximum credit for all taxable years for qualifying
products is $500 --- no more than $200 of the credit can be attributable to expenses for replacement windows and skylights.
3. What percentage of the products(s) purchase price is eligible?
Ten percent of the purchase price up to the cap listed in #2 (not including labor or materials for window and door installation).
4. When does the energy tax credit take effect and how long does it last?
The tax credit begins January 1, 2011 and expires December 31, 2011. Purchasers of qualifying windows, skylights, and exterior doors must have them installed in their principal residence by December 31, 2011.
5. How does the tax credit compare to the previous credits? Are consumers who took advantage of those credits eligible for the new tax credit?
The 2011 tax incentives revert to the 2005-2008 levels: 10% of the cost installing efficient windows. Anyone who has taken advantage of the 2006-2010 programs cannot apply for incentives that exceed the cap Example: if a consumer claimed $500 in 2006 for a qualifying exterior door, the tax credit is exhausted; if only $300 as claimed in 2009, $200 can still be claimed – for a total of $500.
