@MarilynG1-
I have entered the info for my new A/C.
I did not have a "Home energy audits by a certified home energy auditor," so I entered zero for that line and did not get the A/C credit. Entering $1 works.
Instructions for Form 5695, "Residential Energy Credits," state:
Line 26a. To qualify for the credit, a home energy audit must have
included an inspection of your main home located in the United
States and a written report prepared by a Qualified Home Energy
Auditor or under the supervision of a Qualified Home Energy Auditor.
If you check the “No” box, you can't claim the home energy audit credit. [emphasis added]"
Furthermore, Form 5695 asks for A/C information before it asks about energy audits.
This seems to be a TurboTax bug, not an IRS requirement for the credit.
Thanks.
