Federal Energy Tax Credit Info

Receive up to a 30% tax credit for the purchase of an eligible door.

Please note - credit applies to product cost ONLY.  Does not apply to installation costs, painting, additional materials, or sales tax.

What is a tax credit? - the tax credit amount will be added to your refund from the federal government upon preparing your taxes next April.  If you owe money to the government the credit will be subtracted from that amount.  For example, if your eligible door cost is $300 you will be able to subtract $90 from the total amount you owe or add $90 to your tax refund.

Each household will be eligible to receive a maximum of $1,500 total across all eligible improvements throughout the 2009/2010 calendar years.

As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, homeowners are now eligible for a 30% tax credit up to $1,500 dollars if they purchase a qualifying entry door.

How do I get the credit?

  • Purchase and install a qualified product from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2010.

  • Save the sales receipt, NFRC performance label that is attached to the door, and documentation from the manufacturer that shows that your door is eligible.

  • Claim the tax credit when you file your 2009 or 2010 taxes as directed by the IRS.

Which products qualify?

  • The unit must have a U-factor and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.30 or lower as tested at an independent laboratory and certified and labeled by the manufacturer.

The Details

  • The tax credit is for 3rd party certified door systems (door, jamb, sill, weatherstripping, sidelites, etc) and must be assembled by a qualified manufacturer. Individual components or units assembled by non-qualified manufacturers do not qualify.

  • The tax credit is for the product only and does not cover installation costs or sales tax.

  • The maximum credit is $1,500 combined for tax years 2009 and 2010 and includes other eligible products.
