Form 5695 Help

I installed a eligible, high-efficiency pellet stove during the 2025 tax year. The manufacturer provided a certificate indicating that it met the qualifications for the energy tax credit (form 5695); however, the certificate they provided does not include the QMID. I've contacted them to obtain this, but have not received a response. I cannot complete the form without this code. Please advise. Thanks.

If you have the name of the manufacturer you should be able to google their QMID. Just do a quick search.

It is possible that they are not participating in the qualified Manufactures program even if they DO meet energy star requirements. If they are not, then you cannot claim a credit for their product. They would have had to take steps to register their business with the IRS and then they would have been able to give you the QMID. Without the QMID you cannot take the credit.

Here is a list of qualified manufacturers. If the company that manufacturer your pellet stove is not on the list, you will not be able to claim the credit.

In 2025, for each item of qualifying property placed in service, no credit will be allowed unless the item was produced by a qualified manufacturer and the taxpayer reports the Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number (QMID) for the item on their tax return.
