Form 5695 Windows Credit - Northern Region

Serious question.  Has anyone had a client residing in the northern zone who in 2023 had windows qualify for the tax credit?

It seems, at least for my clients, that the hype about tax credits has been a lot of smoke and mirrors.

whats the reason they dont qualify for the credit?   Just the wrong type of windows?

They don't meet the new standard of Energy Star most efficient certification.  These new requirements are much stricter than the old requirements found in Energy Star V6, which was in effect for 2022.  So I have had several clients with windows that would have qualified under V6 or even new V7 but don't qualify under most efficient certification.

IRonMaN is once again correct, I need to stop reading this stuff.  Ignorance is bliss.  And I hope to be retired before IRS audits 2023.  Of course, I say that every year!

Generally if I see an Energy Star emblem, it's good to go!
