Home energy credit input on desktop

[eng659]

Thought I entered all relevant information to receive home energy credit for heat pump. Could not find place to enter replacement of electrical panel. Summary indicated no credit available. What gives?

The key is the required code for each manufacturer. The electrical panel does require the necessary code.

 It would be best to double check with the manufacturer to be sure you have the correct code. Also, check to see if they did register with the IRS here. Qualified Manufacturer

• QMID code (Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number) is a unique 4-digit code required for claiming the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHC).

If you confirm all is correct, be sure your TurboTax software is updated with the latest information. 

TurboTax Online will update automatically. 

TurboTax Desktop is as follows:

1. Sign in, select Online in the top left menu bar, 
2. Next, select Check for Updates
3. TurboTax will update or alert you that you are already up to date

Please add additional information here if you need further assistance and we will help.

I know about the QMID code. Seems like most manufacturers of electrical panels do not have one yet. The problem I encountered was not receiving the credit for the heat pump I had installed even though I had that QMID code until I went to the enabling page and used the same manufacturer code and then things finally showed up.

To enter the replacement of  your electrical panel:

1. Open your return to the deductions and credits section
2. Go through the home energy credits until you reach Did you have any of these residential energy property costs in 2025, select yes
3. In the US, select yes
4. home energy audit, yes or no
5. placed in service by you, select yes
6. continue
7. continue
8. Did you install improvements or replacements for enabling property, select yes - it was for your heat pump
9. continue
10. select your heat pump and enter the QMID for it
11. total cost 

Take a look at your form 5695. Line 25 to see enabling property is checked, your heat pump is checked, and  the cost you entered for the subpanel work.

 I have done all that. However IRS requires a QMID code, part of line 25. I cannot find any QMID code for any electrical panels. Also the installers don't know about QMID codes. Even for the Mitsubishi Mini split that I did find the code for. 

 Thank you Barrie

What brand are the panels? 

HERE is a list of some of the codes

The panel was made by Eaton/ Cutler Hammer. I have had direct contact with Eaton and the comment is they are working on it. Note also that if you try for a QMID for other panel manufactures like GE, Siemens, Square D. They all dropped the ball. The real problem with TurboTax, outside of the enabling section was that I had to run through the IRS form and manually input things in a number of places, some of which were a kluge, in order to even get the heat pump (which had a QMID) to provide a credit.

 The panel is a Siemens 200 Amp with 40 slots. I just found this list of QMID codes.  https://rebate.blue/qmid

AI found this....

 Siemens QMID for electrical panels is generally identified as S9A4

I have not been able to verifiy it neither on my panel nor by searching Siemens

[bjmjgordon]

 A quick search has that QMID code assigned to Alside windows.
