Inflation Reduction Act: Window Tax Credit
Rebate Overview
Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act: Window Tax Credit is a tax credit that helps you save money when upgrading your home's windows. With the recent enactment of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," the 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). You can claim up to $600 for installing energy-efficient windows.
Benefits
Upgrading your windows can make your home more comfortable by improving insulation and reducing drafts. It can also increase your home's value and help the environment by reducing energy consumption.
