Manufacturer’s Certification Statement Pertaining to the

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the

Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 Pella®

Windows and Doors ▪ Pella Corporation

This Manufacturer’s Certification Statement can be relied upon by you, the taxpayer, for verification that certain Pella windows and doors are eligible for the tax credits identified in the American Taxpayer Relief

Act of 2012 and the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014.

The IRS has published tax-related interpretations for “non-business energy property” – which are energy

efficiency improvements to the taxpayer’s principal residence. The IRS requires the manufacturer be

identified: Pella Corporation, 102 Main St. Pella, IA 50219, as the manufacturer of Pella windows and doors.

The IRS defines windows and doors that are eligible for the tax credits of the Tax Relief, Unemployment

Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act 9 as “Eligible Building Envelope Components.”

Following the IRS guidelines, Pella has determined that certain Pella windows and doors are Eligible

Building Envelope Components and qualify for the credit when installed as an exterior window or door

in ENERGY STAR® climate zones and as indicated in the charts below when purchased and

installed from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2015. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification statement, and to the best of

my knowledge and belief, the facts are true, correct, and complete.

Elaine Sagers, Vice President

Pella Corporation, January 18, 2016

IRS suggests the taxpayer is not required to attach this certification statement to their tax return. However, the taxpayer should retain this certification statement as part of their tax records. As in all tax matters, the taxpayer is advised to consult their tax professional.

Pella Corporation and its sales partners assume no liability regarding the homeowner’s ability to obtain

tax credits.
