Yes. You will need to Amend your 2018 return to take the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credit.
Keep in mind: You have 3 years from the date you filed your original 2018 return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended 2018 return.
To amend your 2018 return: You can actually amend your return using TurboTax Online (you don't need to use the TurboTax CD/Download software). Here's how to amend:
- Sign in to TurboTax.
- Select 2018 in Your tax returns & documents (you may need to scroll down).
- Now select Amend (change) 2018 return.
- Follow the screens to amend your return.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 extended the credit through December 2017. The nonbusiness energy property credit expired on December 31, 2017 but was retroactively extended for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020 on December 20, 2019 as part of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act.
The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 extended several energy credits to apply to tax year 2018. The bill was passed by Congress and signed into law in December of 2019 after many of our customers had already filed their 2018 taxes. If you already filed you can amend to claim these benefits.
