Question

Roof Credit

Hi online community, it seems that they extended the roof replacement as a part of the Energy Efficient Home improvement credit for 2023 but in the latest Form 5695 I do not see the line for the entry for the roof. Until today, I still find conflicting information, many articles are saying roof no longer qualifies while others say it was extended. The fact of the matter is that I compare the 2022 with the 2023 and the latest does not have the entry for the roof. Answers will be appreciated. Have a great day everybody.

I thought I saw in a recent post in a tax pro group somewhere that roofs were gone for 2023, but I havent really dug into it looking for verification.....

Im not finding the word "roof" on this page at all, I think its gone.

All the links there take you to TurboTax, not to any actual information about the credit...I take my federal and state update classes end of next week, Im sure all this kind of stuff will be included.

@Jim-from-Ohio   Can you find anything from an IRS source that talks about the roof credit?

Roofs USED to be part of the §25C(c)(2) credit.  See first link.

It is no longer there.   See second link.

On the 2024 form 5695 there is no place for the cost of a new roof.  Where can I enter it for the energy credit?

Have you read the comments above?  Unless they are solar shingles that generate electricity, there is no credit for a roof.
