• The purchase of the qualified windows must be made during the taxable year for which the credit is being claimed.
• The credit is only allowed on the price of the qualified windows themselves, not on installation costs, onsite preparation, assembly or sales tax.
  
• The tax credit is allowable only for qualified window units placed in service in 2009 or 2010.
  
• Homeowners must save their receipts for their windows purchased along with all window labels and stickers for verification and tax recordkeeping.
  
• The windows must be installed in the taxpayer's principal residence.
  
• This tax credit is capped at a total of $1,500 for the years of 2009 and 2010.
