As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, homeowners are now eligible for a 30% tax credit up to $1,500 dollars if they purchase a qualifying entry door.
How do I get the credit?
Purchase and install a qualified Masonite product from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2010.
Save the sales receipt and the NFRC performance label that is attached to the door.
Claim the tax credit when you file your 2009 or 2010 taxes as directed by the IRS.
Which products qualify?
The unit must have a U-factor and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.30 or lower as tested at an independent laboratory and certified and labeled by the manufacturer.
The tax credit is for 3rd party certified door systems (door, jamb, sill, weatherstripping, sidelites, etc) and must be assembled by a qualified manufacturer such as Masonite. Individual components or units assembled by non-qualified manufacturers do not qualify. Masonite sells both certified door systems and individual components which can be assembled by others. Check with your supplier to ensure they have the proper certification and the door system is eligible prior to purchasing.
The tax credit is for the product only and does not cover installation costs.
The maximum credit is $1,500 combined for tax years 2009 and 2010 and includes other eligible products.
Masonite does not assume any liability for determining whether a particular product qualifies for the tax credit and is not providing legal or tax advice.
