IRS changed the law regarding energy credit in 2023, removing lifetime limitation for many items. TT allows me to fill out a version of 5695 which is carryover from 2022 and it results in $0 credit due to prior use of the credit. Turbo Tax should disable the credit form until the 2023 version is completed.
From IRS website:
These expenses may qualify if they meet requirements detailed on energy.gov:
- Exterior doors, windows, skylights and insulation materials
- Central air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, boilers and heat pumps
- Biomass stoves and boilers
- Home energy audits
The amount of the credit you can take is a percentage of the total improvement expenses in the year of installation:
- 2022: 30%, up to a lifetime maximum of $500
- 2023 through 2032: 30%, up to a maximum of $1,200 (heat pumps, biomass stoves and boilers have a separate annual credit limit of $2,000), no lifetime limit
