Tax Credits for Window Replacement

Have you been thinking about replacing your existing windows with new energy-efficient Energy Star qualified products? Would you like to be rewarded with a federal tax credit for your investment and your efforts? Act by December 31, 2011 and take advantage of the up to $200 tax credit offered to homeowners for making their existing home more energy wise.

What is the Federal Energy Tax Credit?

The US government is offering homeowners an energy tax credit of up to $200 towards the cost of certain windows if they purchase them by December 31, 2011. These modifications must be for your existing, owner-occupied residence, not a rental property or a newly constructed home. The windows don't necessarily have to be replacement windows. Installing a new window where no window existed previously, such as in a new addition, also qualifies for the tax credit.

What Window Products Qualify for the Tax Credit?

The 2011 federal energy tax credit covers 10 percent of the cost of the windows (not counting installation) up to $200 maximum. Windows must be Energy Star qualified for the tax credit and you don't have to replace every window in the house; just replacing a few qualifies. Skylights are also covered for the federal tax credit.
