It came to my attention that the $2000 cap on the federal tax credit for installation of solar panels was lifted by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (passed in October 2008). In reviewing my tax return for that year, the maximum amount of the credit inserted by TurboTax (line 3 of Form 5695) was $2000. As such, I believe that this form was incorrect and I was shortchanged on my credit. Any suggestions on how I could confirm this and whether I have any recourse?
