window replacement

[Calla3]

Can you deduct window replacement because the seals between the double panes have failed and are no longer energy efficient?

[DoninGA]

Repairs made on a personal residence, not used as a rental or in a business, are not deductible on a tax return.

However, you can get a Home Energy Credit on your tax return if the windows being replaced are energy efficient.

To enter Home Energy Credits -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credit
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Under Your Home
On Home Energy Credits, click the start or update button

Or enter energy improvements in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to energy improvements
