I bought a qualifying heat pump in 2024; the total cost was $12,899, but it was financed. This year, I made payments of $3230 toward that amount. What is the "cost" I should enter as a qualified energy property cost for the energy efficency tax credit, the $12899 or the $3230?

Enter the actual cost paid in 2024, which would be $12,899.
