You can claim the Solar Energy Tax Credit by filing Form 5695 with your federal tax return. This credit applies to solar equipment installed between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2025.

To start amending your 2023 tax return in TurboTax Online to claim the solar credit, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Tax Home page.
2. Select Amend a filed return, then choose the 2023 tax year.
3. Follow the prompts to open your return for amendment.
4. Navigate to the section for Credits and find the Residential Energy Credits section.
5. Enter your solar panel expenses to complete Form 5695.
6. Review the rest of your return and submit the amended Form 1040-X.

Remember, the IRS must have processed your original 2023 return before you can amend it.
