Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I agree with the tax verbiage. The problem is the Turbotax wizard logic.  You see only one of us own our home and lives in it, I still qualify for the credit according to the actual form.

 

However, Turbotax doesn't display further questions when it assumes that both of us must own a separate main home, which simply isnt the case to meet the requirements.

 

if we filed married separate then I am guessing we each would have the opportunity to submit separate forms for our main home because the wizard runs for each account.

 

This means that Turbotax is simply missing a question in the wizard: "Do person x and person y own their own home?" with Yes/No buttons - or possibly a toggle on/off for each person that owns a home.  It would then read from the previous entered forms to confirm that a 1098 exists, if not, it creates a "Review" object related to that home (because you cant install solar panels without a house existing).

 

As it stands im sure I can attach a 5695 to our filing, Im guessing this wont get resolved this season, but can prevent questions in the future.
