Here's How the New Federal Energy Tax Credit Program Works¹

Section 1121 of the stimulus package allows for a federal energy tax credit to homeowners, up to 30% of the cost of window and door replacement (or, a maximum $1,500 for taxable years 2009 and 2010). To qualify, windows and doors must have a 0.30 U-factor and 0.30 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) or better. Learn more about federal tax credits for energy efficiency on the ENERGY STAR® website.

Many Milgard Vinyl Windows (Tuscany™, Montecito™ and Style Line™ Series) and Classic™ and Style Line™ Series Patio Doors with the optional 3D MAX™ Energy Package upgrade, can meet these requirements and help homeowners qualify for the Energy Conservation Incentives of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

All Milgard products are custom made to order. If there is any question about a specific window qualifying for the federal energy tax credit, please contact Johnson Home Improvement.

Qualifying and receiving your tax credit is easy:

• Purchase a qualifying Milgard window or door and save your sales receipt and the NFRC/ENERGY STAR label with your tax documents.

• Have your qualifying windows or doors installed between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

• Claim the tax credit associated with your qualifying purchase on your federal filing for the 2009 and/or 2010 tax year.
