No, replacing a sewer system does not qualify for the Energy Credit. IRS Defines Qualified Property For Energy Credit

However, you are entitled to claim this as a capital improvement for the rental property.

Replacing the sewer system is considered a Capital improvement that adds to the value of your rental property, prolongs its life, or adapts it to new uses must be depreciated over a period of time rather than deducted as a current-year expense. Therefore the expense qualifies as a capital improvement and deductible on your Rental Income and Deductions Schedule E.

To enter your rental improvements, simply follow the directions to enter your rental income and expenses. At some point, you'll come across the Rental Summary screen. Select Start next to Asset/Depreciation and follow the onscreen instructions. We'll figure out which depreciation method works best in your favor.
