I purchased a new energy efficient air conditioning system in 2021. I never claimed a credit on my 2021 or 2022 taxes. Can I do it for my 2023 taxes?

If the A/C system was installed in 2021, then no, you cannot claim the credit on your 2023 tax return. You must submit an amended 2021 return.

How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year? (intuit.com)

 

For purposes of the energy credit for existing homes, costs are recognized in the year installation is completed.
