Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits for TWO Systems

[diekhan]

I replaced two energey efficient ACs in my house. I qualify for two 600 credits or just one in 2024 federal tax filing for a total of $1200.  How do I claim both in the turbotax.  Where do I specify number of systems in the Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits?

I am using turbotax on mac. The search function and bot are terrible in providing accurate results.  I can's seem to open the form 5695.

You only qualify for one credit.  The limit for the year is $600 for AC. 

You will find this by going to 

1. Deductions and Credits
2. Home Energy Credits
3. Walk through and answer the questions regarding your AC.
