The Stimulus bill signed last week improves the tax credits you may receive for energy efficient home improvements you make to your primary residence. On February 17, 2009, President Barak Obama signed the stimulus bill (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant improvements to the energy efficiency tax credits available to US homeowners. You don’t have to install solar panels to your roof to still benefit from the tax credit. Less costly improvements such as installing a storm door, new exterior door and windows and upgraded insulation also qualify.

 

For further details, please see the EPA’s Energy Star website

The highlights of the plan include:

  • The tax credits that were previously effective for 2009, have been extended to 2010.
  • The tax credit has been increased from 10% to 30%.
  • The maximum credit has been raised from $500 to $1500 for the two years (2009–2010). However, some higher ticket improvements now have higher maximums.
  • The $200 cap on windows has been removed.
