IRS says: "No costs relating to a solar panel or other property installed as a roof (or portion thereof) will fail to qualify solely because the property constitutes a structural component of the structure on which it is installed."
So... All costs relating to a solar panel, including roof improvements DO qualify?
@Tea_ryanny
I am NOT a tax expert but from what I read about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) renewable energy incentives and what TaxAct is telling me, the IRA includes a 30% renewable energy tax credit for a list of energy improvements, and they don't have to be to your main home.
I improved the roof before adding solar and that SEEMS to be included if I squint right at the screwy double negative.
Confident enough to file this return; let you know if it's audited/rejected.
@b4cks4w Thank you!
