Did you enter all your income yet ???    The credit can only be used if you owe federal income taxes.  

 

To claim the solar credit, please follow these steps:

  • In TurboTax, open your tax return
  • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
  • Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Your Home and click on Show more
  • Click Start next to Home Energy Credits (see screenshot)
