  2. Save your purchase receipt and all NFRC/Energy Star labels from the windows installed.
  3. Improvements made in 2009 can be claimed on the homeowner's 2009 taxes (filed by April 15, 2010).
  4. Qualifying products are required to meet a 0.30 U-value and 0.30 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).

Details of the Tax Credit
  1. The tax credit is based on 30% of the cost of the product cost of windows and doors from Valley Glass, up to $1,500.
    • For example, a purchase price totaling $5,000 of qualifying products will receive the maximum tax credit of $1,500.
    • Not all products in the project are required to meet a 0.30 U-value and 0.30 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). Therefore, $5,000 of product that does qualify can be used with product that does not, yet the homeowner receives the maximum rebate.
  2. The credit is available on projects completed in 2009 and 2010 for a total of $1,500 over the two-year period.
  3. The credit applies to the homeowner's principal residence only.
  4. 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.
