If you have decided to purchase energy efficient windows, skylights, or storm windows for your home then you may qualify for a tax credit of up to $200.00. A credit is different than a deduction, a tax deduction will reduce the amount of income subject to tax, a tax credit reduces the tax itself and may increase the amount of your federal refund.

Exterior Windows & Skylights

New energy efficient windows and skylights must be energy star certified or meet the International energy conservation code (IECC) to qualify for the tax credit. Only the price of the windows can be deducted. You may not include installation costs. Remember to save your receipt on these items as well as the energy star labels from your windows. You are eligible to receive 10% of your cost up to $200.00 for exterior windows and skylights.
