You can use this link to reference when specific tax forms will be available. You can search by TurboTax Product and for IRS and state-specific forms.

You will want to watch for IRS Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits.

The link provided shows the form is available in Turbotax, but when I go to that section it continues to say "This section will be ready soon". What is up?

https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product... shows the Residential Energy Credits is now available, I just updated Turbotax to WinPerRelease 025 . 000 . 0230 [Funny that your forum sees your version # as a phone #] and I still can't access it. Any Updates?

My efile was rejected by the irs today with reject code F5695-096 but am finding very little information on this. I got this message

Description of error:

If Form 5695, [ 'CostAmt' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] has a non-zero value, then [ 'QMID' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] must be present unless a binary attachment or [GeneralDependencySmall] with description beginning with "Substantiate QMID" is present in the return.

What needs to be done:

This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 13, 2026. On or after this date please log back into the product and get the latest updates (TurboTax Online does this automatically). Then revisit the Federal return, run through review and re-transmit the return. If the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail: print and mail it to the appropriate taxing authority.

I am using TT Deluxe Desktop. As of 2/13/2026, The Form is there but my energy credit is calculated at $0. Why? Maybe TT does not recognize the QMID code? I am not seeing any error messages in that regard.

Click on Forms. When in the Forms menu, find the Form 5695 on the left side of the screen. Click on the form to open. Depending the type of item you entered the credit amount will be shown on Line 15 or on Line 32. What is shown on the form?
