Included in the approved products are qualified garage doors.The tax credit equals 30% of the product price up to $1500. The credit applies to the product purchase only and does not include labor. The maximum credit of $1500 is for any and all combined qualified products for the home including windows, entry doors and garage doors. The qualified improvements must be installed on an existing home between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.
