Under the new tax law, federal energy credits are only available for solar, wind, geothermal, or fuel cell installations.  There is no longer a federal tax credit for items such as energy-efficient windows.

A few states still allow those energy credits.  If you live in one of those states, you'll be asked about it when you do your state return.
