2009/2010 Energy Efficiency Tax Credit
President Obama recently signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R.1) which includes a provision that provides homeowners tax incentives for energy efficient improvements made in 2009 and 2010.
Among those products that are included in this tax credit are replacement windows and doors. This tax credit replaces the original 2009 tax credit provision signed by former President Bush.
As part of the Economic Stimulus package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 modifies and extends federal tax credits for eligible building components that improve energy efficiency. To be eligible, windows, doors and skylights 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.
