I would like geothermal for my vacation home for personal use, meaning not a rental. My primary home does not have geothermal.
Can I claim the geothermal tax credit for my vacation home? Instructions for Form 5695 Residential Clean Credit Energy Part I says "Qualified geothermal heat pump costs: The home doesn't have to be your main home".
Yet in Part II Question 17a on Form 5695 asks "Were the qualified energy efficiency improvements or residential energy property costs for your main home..." and "Caution: If you checked the “No” box, you cannot claim the energy efficient home improvement credit".
How would I answer question 17a or do I need to do something else to claim the credit? Or does this not qualify for the credit?
Thanks
