Why won't TurboTax give me the full $600 Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for my new windows? It will only give me $200, which is the old limit.

The cost of my windows was well over $2,000 so I should have gotten the maximum credit of $600. But TurboTax's documentation and calculations limited it to $200, which was the limit before the Inflation Reduction Act passed. Here's the IRS's own documentation confirming the $600 credit: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/energy-efficient-home-improvement-credit

Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

Many federal and state forms are not yet available. Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

No hurry to e-file since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files until January 29. And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

I'm having the same problem. I spend $6200 on a qualified central air conditioner and it's only giving me $300
