<sub>* This is a summary of the tax credit elements related to windows and doors as set forth in the American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012 as extended by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which was signed by the President on February 9, 2018, which among other things, extends the tax credits in Section 25C of the Internal Revenue Code on eligible property purchased and installed through December 31, 2017. Andersen and its subsidiary American Craftsman (collectively “Andersen”) verify only that its products with an ENERGY STAR label manufactured in 2017 meet the ENERGY STAR version 6.0 performance criteria for the particular climate zones indicated on the label. Andersen bears no responsibility for determining whether a particular purchase or application qualifies for the tax credit. Further, Andersen does not intend to and is not providing legal or tax advice and recommends that purchasers consult their own tax advisor or the IRS to determine whether the products they purchase for a particular application qualify for the tax credit.

** Andersen and American Craftsman windows and patio doors with select glass options qualify in many U.S. ENERGY STAR version 6.0 climate zones when used for remodeling, replacement or home improvement. As the ENERGY STAR version 6.0 criteria differs by climate zone, please review the ENERGY STAR requirements in the climate zone where the product will be installed and refer to the respective product NFRC Ratings/ ENERGY STAR version 6.0 Qualifications sheet to select the product. Please consult your tax planner and review all IRS guidelines. Andersen is not a tax advisor.
