I finally got around TT insisting that I answer Yes on lines 21a and 21b the day after I logged this issue.
After carefully re-reading the IRS instructions for form 5695, I found that Section B is not required if all you need is credit for installing new exterior doors and/or windows. The form even instructs you to skip down.
The solution:
- I edited that form directly (View, Forms)
- In Section B, I answered NO on lines 21a and 21b, then blanked out the address TT previously forced me to enter in 21c
- Saved my TT files
- Even went back through the interview for that form again to make sure that no funny business was going on behind the scenes. Everything looked fine.
- eFiled, finally!
Calling this issue closed.
