You may be able to claim a home energy credit if you have not already claimed $500 credit total since 2005.

Covered expenses include any insulation material or system that is specifically and primarily designed to reduce heat loss or gain of a home when installed in or on such a home.

Also exterior windows and skylights and exterior doors Also, any metal roof with appropriate pigmented coatings or asphalt roof with appropriate cooling granules that are specifically and primarily designed to reduce the heat gain of your home.

If you are eligible for the home income exclusion, you do not need to report the sale unless you received a 1099-S.

The home energy credits only apply to retro-fits to an existing home. There are some energy efficient credits that apply to new builds but the builder would claim them.

You do not need to report the sale of your GAIN was less than $250,000, unless you received a 1099-S, in which case you must report. Your gain is not the proceeds, your gain is the difference between selling price and purchase price (or the difference between selling price and adjusted cost basis).
