Air Source Heat Pumps Tax Credit and Furnace Calculations WRONG in TurboTax - how to remedy

[jabre]

The tax allowable tax credit for Air Source heat pumps is up to $2000, depending on type and is detailed here: https://www.energystar.gov/about/federal_tax_credits/air_source_heat_pumps

The allowable credit for furnace is up to $600, depending on type, and is detailed here: https://www.energystar.gov/about/federal_tax_credits/natural_gas_propane_oil_furnace

Turbotax 2023 allows entry of these under Duductions and Credits > Home Energy Credits.

Turbotax 2023 does not ask for information on efficiency, which is necessary for the calculations. Nor does it provide the correct calculation of allowable amount. It caps the amounts at an INCORRECT value of $300 for the heat pump and $150 for the furnace.

How to remedy this issue?

Thank you for pointing this out. Also, thank you for pointing out the link to the finalization dates. In the many years of using TT I was unaware of that maturity schedule. It is significantly relevant as I use TT to plan end of year tax approximation. It is definitely something that should be shared at TT startup with the users.

Please note that the dates in the Tax form availability tool are estimates, and are subject to change.

Here it is 4 weeks later from your post and I am having the same issue.  Credit comes up for $300  for heat pump.  When will this be fixed??
