We replaced original sliding glass doors with double pane french doors for energy effiecieny can we claim that?

[IsabellaG]

Yes, that would qualify for a residential energy credit. Exterior doors, exterior windows and skylights all qualify as "qualified energy efficiency improvements." https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3878786-we-replaced-original-sliding-glass-doors-with-double-pane-...  You can claim a tax credit for 10% of the cost of qualified energy efficiency improvements, but the maximum credit is $200 total for all years from 2006 to this year for windows and doors.

I replaced 2 sets of sliding glass doors and 5 sets of windowns to double pane.  Can i use that for tax credit

[DawnC]

Yes, you can get a tax credit for installing energy-efficient property if you have a tax liability.  If you made energy-efficient improvements to your homes like energy-saving roofs, windows, skylights, and doors, you'll be able to claim the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit for 10% of amounts paid for qualified energy efficiency improvements, up to a lifetime cap of $500.

It is a non-refundable credit.   There are times when you can't take the credit in the current year:

• Your income is at a level that's not taxed at all.
• You're getting other tax credits that have reduced your tax owed to zero.

If your credit can be carried forward to next year, we'll do that for you.
