Deductions & credits
Thanks for the response, Catina!
I wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps others dealing with the same Form 5695 / Enabling Property rejection.
Clicking "Fix Rejection" was not helpful — it would just flag the Enabling Property fields, reference the March 6th fix, and loop back without resolving anything.
What I tried (on March 10):
- Loaded my tax return progress on a different laptop
- Cleared Google Chrome cache, cookies, and website data
- Used Tax Tools → Delete Form to delete Form 5695
- Revisited the Home Energy Credits section and re-answered all the questions
- Went through the full Federal return review, all the way to the e-file screen (just before submitting) — this seems to regenerate/update the forms; note that you can't download the updated PDF unless you go through to the end of the e-file flow
One thing I noticed: The rejection error does not go away even after you've made changes — it only clears once you actually go through the e-file process. So don't rely on it as a signal that something is broken or fixed.
After going through all of the above multiple times, I took a chance and submitted — and both my federal and state returns were accepted! 🎉
I'm not entirely sure what made the difference. My Form 5695 PDF didn't visibly change (the Yes/No answers stayed the same), so it's possible something was fixed on the IRS or TurboTax backend. Either way, it's resolved!
Hope this helps someone else in the same situation.
