Remember the huge stimulus bill of 2009? Well, there is a way for you to actually get a chunk of that cash – by replacing your old drafty windows with new replacement windows in Kansas City.
Here is how I understand the requirements (be sure and review them yourself) – New replacement windows MUST have a 0.30 U-Factor (value) or less AND a 0.30 SHGC to qualify.
Your tax credit is 30% of the cost to replace the windows up to $1,500 maximum.
So here is a quick example:
If you spend $6,000 you would receive the full $1,500 tax credit. The windows would need to be intalled between December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2010 to the tax credit from the 2009 Stimulus Bill.
It is up to you, the homeowner, to keep the records that prove the windows meet the requirements. The IRS will have forms (of course they will) for homeowners to fill out to receive the credit.
So if you are looking for replacement windows in Kansas City – now is probably a good time to make the decision. I would advise you talk to both the window contractor and your tax professional before making the purchase to be sure the windows you are purchasing meet the requirements.
