Do I show them for credit in 2024 tax filing? Or show them in 2025 filing with amount paid in 2024 included?</P> Sun, 16 Mar 2025 03:05:45 GMT gupson 2025-03-16T03:05:45Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/paid-for-windows-install-advance-in-2024-but-windows-installed-in-2025/01/3571494#M121817 <P>I paid an advance on my energy efficient windows install in 2024 but they got installed in 2025 Jan.
