How to Get Tax Credit When Replacing Windows in Your Home

Replacing windows can save you money on your taxes and utility bills but it is a considerable investment. The U.S. government offers a tax credit to encourage homeowners to purchase energy-saving windows.

By following the steps listed, you can receive the tax rebates being offered.

  1. Shop around for your window options. Make sure the energy-efficient windows you are looking into qualify for an energy-efficient-window tax credit.
  2. Check for windows with a U-factor of 0.30 or less and a 0.30 SHGC. Check these specifications carefully.
  3. Purchase the qualifying windows for your home. Statewide Remodeling has a wide selection of window replacement options.
  4.  Keep records of all windows replaced and save all receipts for your tax records.
  5. Research the most up-to-date information on the tax credit available.
  6.  File for a tax rebate when you complete your tax returns.

Also remember to check with your local energy providers to see if they offer any incentives or rebates.
