Energy efficient Home Improvement Credit

I entered information for two exterior doors and had a credit for $500. After the last software update the credit is now being limited to $250. Why am I not getting credit for the second door?

The IRS has issued a correction to the 2025 Instructions on their end. We are looking into it to see if this is related to the IRS correction or if it is something else.

We have corrected the calculation for joint occupants of a home who are claiming the energy efficient home improvement credit in Part II of the 2025 Form 5669. Please refer to the instructions below with respect to the joint occupancy section on page 3 of the 2025 Instructions for Form 5695. If you downloaded or printed the 2025 Instructions for Form 5695 prior to Jan. 26, 2026, please note the correction.

Although, the IRS is saying March 6, if this is the date that they will have the forms corrected, TurboTax software will take a little bit to then make the changes. You can attempt to refile on the 6th or wait for several days after that.

As of today, there is still no correction. I deleted Form5695 and reentered all information on for Part II. On Form 5695 Turbotax is still not calculating line 19g and is limiting line 19h to $250 instead of $500.
