As if it wasn’t enough that you’re saving money on electric bills, making your home more comfortable, adding a level of safety and privacy, AND “going green”… you also get a tax credit for tinting your home windows!

A provision in the recent Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Re authorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 has created a tax credit opportunity for window films installed in residential structures. Under the new policy, the qualifying credit is 10% of the film cost with a maximum total credit of $500.

A tax credit is more valuable than a tax deduction, because tax credits directly reduce your income tax. This is unlike a “deduction”, which only reduces the amount of income subject to tax. A tax credit directly increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount you have to pay. Claim Your Credit at www.WindowFilmTaxCredit.com
