  • To be eligible, windows and doors must have both a U-Factor equal to or less than 0.30 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to or less than 0.30.
  • Not all products in the project are required to meet a 0.30 U-value and 0.30 SHGC. Therefore, $5,000 of product that does qualify can be used with product that does not, yet the homeowner receives the maximum rebate.
  • Purchase and install qualifying products beginning January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010 and meet all other requirements outlined in the federal tax code.
  • Save your sales receipt and each window or door performance label (NFRC/ENERGY STAR® label) with your tax documents.
  • Claim the tax credit associated with your qualifying purchase on your Federal filing for the 2009 and/or 2010 tax year.
  • Tax credit is for the cost of the product only and does not include installation costs. Be sure to ask for a sales receipt that shows the cost of the product only.

What is the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction?

  • A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction subtracted from your tax liability. Therefore, $1,500 can be subtracted directly from the amount of tax that is owed, or added to a tax refund.
  • A tax deduction reduces the amount of your taxable income.
  • This program is a tax credit directly off the tax liability, not a tax deduction off the taxable income.
