Velux and skylight deduction

I installed three velux skylights in 2025.  On the Turbo Tax program, it asks for the QMID code/number.  I reviewed the product and none was found.  I called Velux, and they informed me that are not part of the program and have no QMID to provide me.  They sent me to emergystar.gov website, which does have a product rating for the product, but not "code" to provide the program, which is demanding the QMID.

Velux and skylight deduction

In order to claim the credit you will need either a QMID code.  You cannot claim the credit for 2025 if you do not have it.  This comes from the manufacturer, if they are not participating, you would not be able to claim the credit on their windows. 
 

Qualified manufacturer identification numbers. Beginning January 1, 2025, if you are claiming the energy efficient home improvement credit for specified property placed into service in 2025, you must include the four-character alphanumeric unique qualified manufacturer identification number (QMID) for each item

Velux has indicated that they do NOT provide QMID becuase they chose not to pay for the service.  But the skylights are noted in NERC as meeting the requirements.  Just no QMID.  So we're stuck with federal clearance but the company not choosing to participate.

Velux must be some MAGA company; doesn't believe in climate change.
