Frequently Asked Questions
While you should review the Manufacturer’s Certification Statements available at
www.hunterdouglas.com/taxcredit for specific qualifying product details and
restrictions, and also consult with your tax advisor to determine other eligibility
requirements for claiming this particular Federal Tax Credit, below are answers to
some of the more commonly asked questions.
1. What is the Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency?
On 12/17/10, President Obama signed The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance
Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 which extended for 2011, federal tax
credits on select energy efficient products. The products must be purchased and
installed during 2011.
______________________________________________________________________
2. Which Hunter Douglas products currently qualify for the Federal Tax Credit?
Two different Hunter Douglas products may qualify for the tax credit as follows:
(1) Certain Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades with qualifying fabrics and lifting
systems that are inside mounted over double glazed windows.
(2) The LiteRise® TrimKit, when used on certain Duette® and Applause® honeycomb
shades, and mounted over “low-e” double-pane glass windows. The TrimKit does not
qualify when used with shades with sheer or semi-sheer fabrics. The tax credit applies to
the amount paid for the TrimKit surcharge only.
For specific details and restrictions, refer to the Manufacturer’s Certification Statements
for each product at www.hunterdouglas.com/taxcredit.

3. How much is the Federal Tax Credit?
Qualifying products are eligible for a tax credit of 10% of the cost, up to $500 in total
during the 2011 tax year. $500 is the maximum combined total amount that can be
claimed for all purchases of qualifying energy efficient products placed in service during
this period and is subject to reduction in the amount of Section 25C tax credits taken in
prior years.
The tax credit for your qualifying Hunter Douglas product is 10% of the purchase price to
you for the product only (excludes sales tax, measuring and installation charges), up to
$500. The tax credit for 2011 is subject to a lifetime limitation of $500. If you take
advantage of any Hunter Douglas or other rebate program and you receive a rebate on
your purchase price, you must reduce the amount that you compute the credit on by the
rebate received. Ask the dealer to provide an itemized bill for the purchase of the
qualifying product. You should reduce that amount by any rebate received and any sales
tax paid.

4. What is the time frame during which tax credits can be earned on qualifying
Hunter Douglas products?
The qualifying Duette® Architella® shades and LiteRise® TrimKit must be purchased and
installed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, for existing homes, not new
construction. The home must be considered your principal residence. Consult your tax
advisor for further details.
______________________________________________________________________
5. Are installation costs for my qualifying Hunter Douglas products covered by the
tax credits?
The tax credit applies to the product purchase price only and does not cover the
installation/labor costs for measuring or installing your qualifying Architella shade or
LiteRise Trim Kit.
______________________________________________________________________
6. Is the $500 Tax Credit for each product I buy in 2011?
Even if you purchase multiple qualifying products you can only get a maximum of $500
tax credit during 2011. Basically you can spend up to $5,000 during the year on a single
product or multiple products, and get 10% or $500 (10% of $5,000 = $500) back as a tax
credit. However, the 2011 credit amount is reduced by Section 25C tax credits you have
taken in prior years. Consult with your tax advisor to determine your eligibility for this tax
credit.
______________________________________________________________________
7. What tax form do I need to submit for this special Federal Tax Credit?
To claim the tax credit, you will need to complete the applicable IRS forms and submit
them with your 2011 tax return, dependent on when your purchase was made. The
credit is usually taken on Form 5695. However, the IRS has not yet issued this form for
2011, so you should consult your Tax Advisor as to the correct 2011 form to file or visit
the IRS website. Also save your receipts and the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement
for your records.
_____________________________________________________________________
8. What is a Manufacturer’s Certification Statement?
A Manufacturer’s Certification Statement is a signed statement from the manufacturer
certifying that the product or component qualifies for the tax credit and which includes
specific product details and restrictions. The Hunter Douglas Manufacturer’s Certification
Statements can be accessed at www.hunterdouglas.com/taxcredit.
______________________________________________________________________
9. When purchasing a Duette honeycomb shade with the Duolite™ design option,
which combinations of fabrics qualify for the energy tax credit?
Any qualifying Duette Architella or qualifying Alustra Duette Architella fabric, used in
combination with each other, will qualify for the tax credit.
