Solar Refund not calculating correctly

I do not think that the calculation for the solar credit is correctly working. I think it is calculating the overall expensive at 26% and it should be at 30%. Can anyone verify this?

    The IRS Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits for tax year 2022 uses 30% for the credit on all 

    • Qualified solar electric property costs
    • Qualified solar water heating property costs
    • Qualified small wind energy property costs
    • Qualified geothermal heat pump property costs
    • Qualified biomass fuel property costs

    IRS Form 5695 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5695.pdf

     

    The TurboTax program Form 5695 uses the exact same calculations as the federal Form 5695.

    Thanks! I was reading the carry over incorrectly.
