A lot of vinyl siding installations use a layer of insulation under the siding, some as thick as one inch. This would come under the building envelope provision of the Energy Act. So, part of the installation could be allocated to the insulation, although it would be a small fraction of the total cost.Comment

If you want to get picky...
you could try to determine the R-factor of the old siding and the R-factor of the new vinyl siding itself. If the new siding's R-factor is greater than the old siding, then some/all of the new siding could qualify for the credit (in addition to any new insulation added).

Insulated siding
When I priced vinyl siding several years ago, both uninsulated and insulated, the insulated was twice the cost, so might be worth the effort.
