Follow these steps:

  1. Open to Federal Deductions & Credits.
  2. Scroll down to Your Home and click Start/Revisit next to Home Energy Credits.
  3. TurboTax will first ask if you made any new energy-efficient improvements in 2025.
  4. Select Yes (if you read the no it and and do not have a carryforward- so you must select yes)
  5. After all the new entry parts of the form it will ask "Home energy credit carryforward" or "Do You Have a Home Energy Credit to Carry Forward?" or "Residential Clean Energy Credit Carryforward."
  6. Depending on the program, you may just enter the carryover or you may need to click yes and then enter.
  7. Enter the amount from your 2024 tax return (specifically Line 16 of your 2024 Form 5695).
