Can I deduct my roof for engery efficient upgrade?

You may qualify for a credit on your federal income tax returns for installing an energy-efficient roof.  

To input the information:

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
    (To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button.)
  2. In the search box, search for energy improvements. (Don't search for "energy credit," as this will take you to the wrong place in the program.)
  3. Click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  4. At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes and click Continue.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip: Many state governments, local municipalities, and utility companies offer incentives for energy- or water-saving home improvements that are not tax-related. An online search will reveal what your state has to offer (for example, you might search for Colorado water rebate or Kentucky energy incentive).
