Retirement tax questions

If you look at the link I posted, you will see that in order to claim this credit you must fill out form 8835 or form 3468. The forms are for production and investment. Homeowners cannot use these forms.  There is not a spot on form 1040 for these forms. They flow to form 3800 which is a general business credit form. 

Use Form 8835 to claim the renewable electricity production credit. The credit is allowed only for the sale of electricity produced in the United States or U.S. territories from qualified energy resources at a qualified facility. 

Use form 3468 to claim the investment credit. The investment credit consists of the following credits:

  • rehabilitation,
  • energy,
  • qualifying advanced coal project,
  • qualifying gasification project, and
  • qualifying advanced energy project.
