Here are the steps to correct form 5695 box 25a with a properly selected value:
- Select Yes at "Did you install improvements or replacements for enabling property? Enabling property: Certain electrical improvements - like upgrading or replacing panelboards, subpanelboards..."
- At next page "Improvements or replacements installed for enabling property", select at least one checkbox, enter A1B2 for both codes, and a fake value for the "total cost you paid" field. Note all these are fake values and will be undone in the next steps.
- Click Continue once. You should be at the page titled "Qualified energy property costs"
- Click Back twice which should take you back to the page from step #1 above.
- Select No and then click Continue. You should be back to the page titled "Qualified energy property costs"
- Complete the next pages as you should until you get back to the deductions and credits page.
- Navigate to the Federal review page and run the checks. This should find the fix to correct for form 5695 box 25a where it allows you fix the form manually to add a valid yes or no to box 25a.
- Follow the steps provided to add a Yes or No answer to box 25a then click Continue.
- Run through all remaining checks.
- Go to File return. Click "View Form" before e-file and verify form 5695 box 25a has either a Yes or No value selected. If you selected No for box 25a, also ensure the fake values entered earlier in boxes 25c, 25i, and 25ii are now empty in the generated form.
TT support, management, and the developers should be ashamed of themselves for not addressing this issue in a timely manner and for making users jump though these hoops.
