Did you install solar panels on your home?  If so, this would fall under the Residential Energy Credit which is under Home Energy Credits in the Your Home section of TurboTax.  You can get to this form by entering Home Energy Credit in the search box and selecting Jump To. Or if you are using the desktop version To enter these credits into TurboTax take the following steps:

• Federal
• Deductions and Credits
• I'll Choose what I work on
• Home Energy Credits which is under the "Your Home" category

Just some things to keep in mind for the Residential Energy Credit.

The Residential Energy Credit is also a non-refundable credit, however this one can be carried forward to future tax years until this credit goes away which is currently set to happen in 2034

This credit is worth up to 30% of the cost of the equipment, with no maximum limit.  The items that fall into this category are as follows:

• Geothermal Heat Pumps
• Small Wind Turbines
• Solar Energy Systems
• Fuel Cells
• Battery Storage Technology

This credit can be taken for new construction
