Form 5695 residential energy credit. I know this form was filled out last year because we had new energy efficient windows and doors installed in 2016. But here are my questions. 1. Do you only fill out a form 5695, if during that tax year you made a home improvement that qualifies? 2. Or Once you have filled it out the previous tax year, do you continue to refill it out every year, for so many years, and get some sort of revolving credit every year for having these new energy efficient windows? I know that sounds stupid, but I really don't understand how this form works, other than last year my mother in law filled it out because of the new windows and doors. So please be very clear in your answer, because I am quite confused! I assume you never fill out this form unless new upgrades that qualify were just done that year, but I need to be sure. Thank you
