Deductions & credits

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.
