I have read comments today in which some folks said they have received an email saying the above-referenced form is available when it still is not.
My concern is even more basic: whether it will ever be available to me (a new user) on my Do-It-Yourself Premium version.
I ask this because, before I accessed the Community, I tried a couple of ways suggested within TurboTax Help, such as what I quote below:
- - -
"...Navigate to the residential energy credit section:
TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the residential energy credit screen under Deductions & Credits
TurboTax Desktop: Search for this exact phrase including the comma and spaces: 5695, residential energy credit. Select the Jump to link or,
Go to Federal Taxes.
If asked, How do you want to enter your deductions and credits, select I'll choose what I work on...."

These did not work for me--I could not find what I was told to look for.
I would be ok if I found the form and, when I clicked on it, it told me to check back later, but I am not even finding it. Is it possible that it is not available at all for some TurboTax versions (e.g., my Do-It-Yourself Premium)?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
To enter Home Energy Credits -
Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credit
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Under Your Home
On Home Energy Credits, click the start or update button
Form 5695 does NOT work. I printed it out after I tried to complete the form. The first page of the smart worksheet shows all answers as NO. Which is incorrect. The house is in the US. I am the original owner. the components will be in place and working for five years. They are not related to construction of a new home.
So I called Turbo TAX and the guy said, oh, just delete the form and do it again. It will work --BUT IT DOES NOT. TURBO TAX IS WRONG
