Is there still such a credit? I thought roofs were gone unless they were solar shingles.

Time to for you to drag out the instructions for the 5695 I guess.

If you google that their will be several sites that say metal roofs qualify, but according to IRS they do not. Link: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/energy-incentives-for-individuals-residential-property-updated-questions-and-answers

Q. Is a roof eligible for the residential energy efficient property tax credit?

A. In general, traditional roofing materials and structural components do not qualify for the credit. However, some solar roofing tiles and solar roofing shingles serve as solar electric collectors while also performing the function of traditional roofing, serving both the functions of solar electric generation and structural support and such items may qualify for the credit. Components such as a roof's decking or rafters that serve only a roofing or structural function do not qualify for the credit.

I think the metal roofs went out a couple years ago.
