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.
