I replaced 7 of the windows and 4 of the doors in my primary residence in 2016. Can I get a credit for doing this?

Your energy-efficient doors and windows may qualify for an energy credit. (See the energy-efficient windows, doors, and skylights link in the FAQ below for the requirements.)

To enter your energy-efficient doors and windows in TurboTax:

Continue your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in, and click Take me to my return.)
Click Tax Tools (lower left side of your screen).
Select Tools.
In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
In the I'm looking for: box, type 5695.
In the results box, highlight 5695, residential energy credit, then click GO.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete this section. You'll be able to enter the cost of the doors and windows (but not the cost of the labor to install them),
After you enter these costs and answer the corresponding questions, TurboTax will determine if you qualify for an energy credit.

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function and the "Jump to" link (instead of "Tax Tools") to search for the topic.

Credit Limitation: The Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit has a lifetime total combined limit of $500 ($200 of which may be for windows), so if you have claimed the credit in a prior year your 2016 deduction may be reduced. See IRS Instructions for Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits for more information.
