2011 Energy Tax Credit Information Energy Tax Credits are available for 2011. The bill allows for homeowners to receive a tax credit of 10 percent of the cost of qualifying energy-efficient products up to a maximum of $200 per household for window installations completed in 2011. The requirements to qualify for the new energy tax credit include: 1. Windows purchased must be equal to or below a U-Factor of 0.30 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.30. 2. The purchase of the qualified windows must be made during the taxable year for which the credit is being claimed. 3. The credit is only allowed on the price of the qualified windows themselves, not on installation costs, onsite preparation, assembly or sales tax. 4. The tax credit is allowable only for qualified window units placed in service in 2011. This means your windows must be installed in 2011. 5. Homeowners must save their receipts for their windows purchased along with all window labels and stickers for verification and tax recordkeeping. 6. The windows must be installed in the taxpayer's principal residence. 7. This tax credit is capped at a total of $200 for 2011 ($500 limit if coupled with Entry Doors and Skylights - $200 window maximum). 8. Unlike a tax deduction, which only reduces the amount of your taxable income, a tax credit reduces the amount of tax you owe.
