Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can still take the credit by recalculating your tax in the previous year even if you didn't use TurboTax. However, you would need to do the calculation manually, or by using the software you used to prepare the original tax return. Also, you could re-prepare the tax return in TurboTax to determine the credit instead of using the other tax product.
