If your energy-efficient central air conditioning system qualifies for an energy credit, you'll enter it under Tell Us How Much You Paid for Energy-Saving Improvements as Energy-Efficient Building Property. (Click the screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.)

To enter your energy-efficient central AC:

Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online.
Click My Account (top right of your screen).
Select Tools.
In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
In the search bar, type 5695.
In the results box, highlight 5695, residential energy credit, then click GO.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete this section. Be sure to click on a Learn more link if you have any questions. After you enter the cost of your central air-conditioning system, TurboTax will determine if you qualify for a Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit.

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.

The Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit is limited and may be reduced if you claimed a credit in a prior year. See IRS Instructions for Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits for more information.

The FAQ below has links to sites that will help you determine if your energy-efficient property qualifies for an energy credit. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300639
