If you made energy efficient improvements to your home like energy-saving roofs, windows, skylights, and doors, you'll be able to claim the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for 10% of amounts paid for qualified energy efficiency improvements, up to a lifetime cap of $500 or fixed dollar amounts ranging from $50 to $300 for energy efficient property, including furnaces, boilers, biomass stoves, heat pumps, water heaters, central air conditioners, and circulating fans.
You can enter energy improvements as follows:
- Open or continue your return, if you don't already have it open
- In TurboTax, search for energy improvements (Don't search for energy credit as this will take you to the wrong place)
- Select the Jump to link in the search results
- On the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes and Continue. Follow the instructions on the next screens
- The first part of the interview covers improvements like doors, windows, furnace, air conditioning, and heat pumps. If you're looking for other improvements like solar, geothermal, wind, and fuel cell, just keep going—we'll ask you about these soon
