Thanks for your reply. TurboTax mentions asphalt shingles on the first page of Energy-Saving Home Improvements. It again refers to roofs on the "tell us how much you paid for Energy-Savings Improvements" page. However, that page has no section to enter roof costs. Are you saying it was removed but the software isn't updated or are you saying we enter it into the Insulation Materials?
Specific mention of "roofs" was removed from the law by Congress, so the IRS took it off the form, and Turbotax's data entry screen follow the IRS form, even if the comments sometimes don't.
The form has a line for "Insulation air sealing material or system". This is where you can enter a roof, but only if the roof qualifies as a "system which is specifically and primarily designed to reduce the heat loss or gain of a dwelling unit" and if it meets the requirements of the IECC 2021 standards for insulation systems.
Although the program says "tell us how much you paid for doors, windows, roofing and insulation", the specific mention of roofing should probably be removed, or at least the phrase "qualified improvements to doors, windows, etc." should be added.
