Does Turbo Tax 2023 support entering energy tax credits (solar, storage batteries) for a recreational vehicle?

I tried entering the cost for solar battery storage but it requires that I enter an address for the home.  Since this is for an RV, there is no permanent address.  Should I use my home address?

Thanks Amy.  That's what I thought.

 

How do I go about entering this into Turbo Tax?  As stated, when I tried to enter this under Home Energy Credits in the Your Home deduction section, Turbo Tax required that I enter an address for the residence.  

 

Is this the right place?  If yes, what address do I enter?

If not, please let me know how I can go about entering this info.

Thanks again Amy, Paul

Yes, you are in the correct place in the tax return.  Use your home address to claim the credit.

Yes. since your RV has no permanent address but does qualify.

 

 Energystar states under battery storage:

 

The home served by this system does not have to be the taxpayer's principal residence. A principal residence is the home where you live most of the time. The home must be in the United States. It can include a house, houseboat, mobile home, cooperative apartment, condominium, and a manufactured home.
