25C Window Tax Credit
Rebate Overview
Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act: Window Tax Credit is a tax credit that helps homeowners save on energy-efficient window upgrades. With the recent enactment of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," these tax credits expire after December 31, 2025, spiking demand for this upgrade through the end of the year. Upgrades completed before the cutoff can be claimed as a credit using Form 5695 on 2025 tax returns (filed in early 2026). Homeowners can save up to $600 on qualifying window installations.
Benefits
Upgrading your windows can make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. New windows can help keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy bills. Additionally, this upgrade can increase your home's value and contribute to a healthier environment by reducing energy consumption.
