Form 5695 Energy Efficient Home Improvement Error

I keep getting my return rejected because of Form 5695 error and it says that it is a processing error that will be corrected on 3/6/25. I installed a electric heat pump and smart thermostat in 2025. I verified the QMID for Goodman (manufacturer) , not sharing the credit with anyone, showed that the install was in 2025. I didn't see any errors when I had TurboTax walk me through this deduction. I did some research and saw that some other people had problems with sharing the deduction, but I'm not doing this.

Is there something I missed?

Do I have to wait till 3/6/25 to file?

We’re currently working on an update for Form 5605. There will be an update on March 6. After this day you can go back through your return, and make any changes as needed, then file your return. If you are using TurboTax Online the program updates automatically.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates".
