Energy Tax Credit

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended the credit for energy efficient home improvements to include 2009. A new, insulated garage door may qualify for this credit. Among the criteria for the credit, which can total no more than $500 total in 2006 and 2007, $1500 in 2009 and 2010, are the following: the insulated door must be installed on an insulated space attached to the principle residence; the door must have a U-factor less than or equal to 0.35; there must be a means to control air infiltration at the perimeter; and the product must have an expected life of 5 years or more. Recent revisions have changed some of the qualifying products. Generally, higher r-value products qualify, bringing the net cost down to mid-level product cost. Each manufacturer has their own form for you to fill out and keep with your tax records. (The form isn't actually filed with the tax return.)
