    Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) is used to calculate tax credits for energy efficient improvements and alternative energy equipment.

    To add or remove this form:

    1. Open (continue) your return if you don't already have it open.
    2. Inside TurboTax, search for this exact phrase including the comma and spaces: 5695, residential energy credit
    3. Select the Jump to link in your search results.
    4. At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes, then select Continue.
      • To delete the 5695, answer No, select Continue, and then answer Yes on the following screen to confirm the deletion.
    5. Follow the instructions to enter your energy-saving improvement costs.

    Unfortunately, this did not help me.  The system is still advising that my return cannot be e-filed because there is a "tax situation" (referring to the Solar and Wind Credit that I deleted, even though it was never selected to begin with).  Highly frustrating.
