Deductions & credits

You likely can't apply the carryover credit from 2024 since the Form 5695 for that year was not correct.

 

When you go through the Home Energy Credits section under Your Home in the Deductions and Credits section of TurboTax, you will see an option to enter your energy credit carryover from the previous year. It is on the screen that says Home Energy Credit Carryforward. When you enter the carryover credit, that should allow you to get credit for the carryover from 2024 on your 2025 tax return.

 

You need to amend your 2024 return to record the correct energy credit and carryforward. You will see an option for that on your home screen when you log into TurboTax.

 

To populate lines 17(a) to 17(c) on Form 5695, you need to check the appropriate boxes in the Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Credit Smart Worksheet - Part II Section A you will see above the lines 17(a) to 17(c) on form 5695. Also, below those lines you must complete the Qualified Energy Efficiency Improvements Smart Worksheet. Lines 17(a) to 17(c) will populate based on those entries.
