Economic Stimulus Energy Tax Credit

Receive up to $1500 with the new energy tax credit.

The recently passed Economic Stimulus package (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) includes federal tax credits that encourage homeowners to make energy efficient improvements to their homes. Section 1121 of the stimulus package allows for a federal energy tax credit to homeowners, up to 30% of the cost of window and door replacement (or, a maximum $1,500 for taxable years 2009 and 2010). The tax credit is for the cost of the product only and does not include the cost of installation. To qualify, windows and doors must have a 0.30 U-factor and 0.30 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) or better.

The tax credit applies to qualified energy efficient home improvements, and must be used for remodeling or replacement. New construction does not qualify for the new tax credit. Product must be purchased and placed in service during 2009 or 2010, and must be a taxpayer’s primary residence in the United States.
