Energy Tax Credit

Hello,

In 2023, I replaced two existing windows and 2 outdoor patio doors with two Energy Star - Anderson A series sliding doors (each sliding door replacing an existing window and an existing door). Can I request credit for two windows and two outdoor doors (total of $1,100) or I can only request credit for two outdoor patio doors (total of $500)?

Thank you!

The credit for the doors and windows is separate. So you would enter the total amount you paid for the 2 windows in the window box and the amount you paid for each door in 2 separate boxes. One box will say most expensive exterior door and the other box will say all other doors. But, the total credit for the doors will be $500 ($250 per door maximum of 2 doors) assuming each door cost about $834 or more per door. The maximum amount for all windows combined for windows is $600.

Thank you for your response!
I should probably clarify that I only bought 2 sliding doors.
The sliding doors that I purchased replaced two existing windows and 2 existing doors. This sliding doors are very big (covering walls that had prior windows and doors).
my question is — can I split the cost for the two sliding doors between doors and windows to maximize my credit given I replaced old windows and doors? Or, regardless of what I replaced I can only get credit for two sliding doors?

When Anderson Windows installed my SLIDING PATIO DOOR and CASEMENT BEDROOM WINDOW, I was not given the materials cost. I was simply charged $13,137.00 FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT. But if I do not have the cost of the products installed, what can I deduct on my taxes?

If the total amount was for parts and labor, use the entire amount. If the program asks for a separate account for parts and labor, then use your best estimate for allocating between parts and labor.

For clarification, is this question about whether one full sliding door unit would count as one door, two doors, or a door (the sliding portion) and a window (the fixed portion)? I'm guessing the answer is that the entire slider unit would simply count as one door, but I was hoping to make sure before I finish this section in my taxes. Thanks.
