Thanks @doninGA
So, followed my hunch and your directions. Even restarted TT with no form 5695, then went back through the interview for home energy credits. Still received errors:
1. Even though I answered No to "Did you have any residential energy property costs in 2023?", the software left line 26a blank. It should have logged a No in the checkbox. I allowed the process to log the No.
2. Still received errors for lines 21a & b. Allowed the error check process to answer Yes to both
3. Ran Smart Check again
4. It insisted on an address in 21c, which is the same address as the 1040 and line 17d on the 5695. Entered our home address again.
It finally found no errors, but I question all of the "errors" above. I think #1 is a bug. I can't explain #2-#4 - as they seem to all be linked to the topic of #1.
I'm not following thru with filing until I'm sure this is correct.
