Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits)

[jeffiemod]

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)?

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

that does not work.  The form - if you would look at it -- starts out with NO on all the very first questions, so you are not going to get the credit BECAUSE THE software is WRONG.
