Energy Efficient Windows Tax Credit Expiring
9/30/2013 12:55:00 PM
The previously-expired energy efficiency tax credit was re-established as of January 2, 2013 as a part of the legislation that helped us avoid a government shutdown. This re-established tax credit is expiring December 31st, 2013, so now is the time to act if you want to take advantage of these tax savings! Your windows must be installed by December 31st
The tax credit, known as the 25C tax credit, provides up to $500 in federal tax credits for energy-efficient windows.
This tax credit is retroactive, meaning you can qualify for it even if you had your windows installed in 2012 when the energy-efficient tax credit was expired.
The tax credit is for 10 percent of the materials portion of your order, up to $500. It is important to note, however, that if you have already taken advantage of energy-efficient improvement tax credits since 2006, you are not eligible to receive more if you have already received the $500 cap.
