Receive a tax
credit for installing Panorama window film in 2007
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 created federal tax credits
for consumers who make certain energy-efficient improvements
to their homes. A tax credit directly reduces income
tax, unlike a deduction, which reduces the amount of
income subject to tax. The credit then directly increases
the tax refund received or decreases the tax due.
In 2006, window film was added to the list of improvements
that qualify for a tax credit. This credit expires at
the end of 2007. Homeowners can receive a 10 percent
credit on the cost of the window film, up to $500. Installation
does not apply, only the cost of the film.
Cooling costs related to the heat gained through windows
can make up about 40 percent of a home’s summer
utility bill. Solar control window film reduces total
solar energy by up to 80 percent, which helps lower
energy consumption.
Eligibility
Anyone who has purchased qualifying Panorama brands
of solar control window film (see manufacturer’s
certification for eligible films) between Jan. 1
and Dec. 31, 2007 is eligible to receive a 2007 tax
credit.
