Energy saving improvements

We replaced energy efficiency sliding doors and windows for a cost of $13,150. No breakdown of installation. We also upgraded our original central air/heating for and energy efficient system, at a total cost of $27,662 (rebates and credits deducted).

Where do we report these improvements for maximum tax credit, if any?

Use the following steps to go to the residential energy credit section of your return:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “home energy improvement” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to home energy improvement”
  • Click on the blue “Jump to home energy improvement” link and enter your information
